It was also reported that the IOF not only surrounded the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital in the city, but also cordoned off the entrances to the hospital and deployed infantry in front of it. This practice hindered the arrival of ambulances and thus prevented the injured from receiving necessary treatment.
Eyewitnesses also reported that the occupation forces pursued the ambulances that were traveling in the city of Tulkarm, obstructed their work, and prevented them from moving freely.
Furthermore, the occupation forces surrounded Al-Israa Specialized Hospital, and searched ambulances carrying the wounded. Eyewitnesses noted that one of the wounded was arrested and was prevented care at the hospital.
