On Thursday, the Israeli occupation forces withdrew from the Nour Shams camp in Tulkarm, located in the northern West Bank. This followed a 40-hour aggression against the camp.

For two consecutive days, the occupation forces forcefully entered the Nour Shams camp, conducting a series of arrests and launching various attacks on Palestinians and their belongings. This operation included the deployment of snipers on building rooftops and reconnaissance planes flying at low altitudes in the air.

On the morning preceding its withdrawal, the occupation forces deployed additional military reinforcements to the Nour Shams camp, where they proceeded to detonate homes within the camp.

Large forces from the occupation army, accompanied by police dogs, conducted raids on numerous homes in the neighborhoods of Nour Shams camp. These operations resulted in widespread disruption, with occupants being arrested, and subjected to beatings, and other Palestinians, including women, undergoing investigation, interrogation, and phone searches.

In turn, the Palestinian Red Crescent reported that its teams attended to 21 cases in the aftermath of the occupation forces' raid into the city of Tulkarm and its two camps, Nour Shams and Tulkarm.

Simultaneously, for the second consecutive day, the Israeli occupation persists in its activities within the city of Tulkarm and its camp. Confrontations ensued between the occupation forces and Palestinian resistance fighters in the vicinity of the Tulkarm camp.

Eyewitnesses reported that the occupation forces expanded their incursions into Tulkarm, encompassing multiple neighborhoods. They noted that sporadic sounds of armed clashes and explosions could be heard during this intensified military presence.

In retaliation to this aggression, Palestinian resistance fighters took action. On Wednesday, the Tulkarm Brigade declared that it had attacked the occupation vehicles and bulldozers that entered the al-Madares neighborhood and the al-Balouneh Neighborhood. Hence, the resistance utilized high-explosive devices and a heavy barrage of bullets, resulting in damage to some of the targeted vehicles.

The Brigade confirmed that it engaged in confrontations with the Israeli soldiers, who tried to exit the vehicles, explaining that the intensity of the fighting prevented them from doing so. The Brigade added that it was able to target the locations where occupation snipers were deployed, with a heavy barrage of bullets. 

It also stressed that "the resistance fighters still have a lot to offer," pointing out that the occupation will see more if it dares to continue its land raids. 

It is worth noting that the Israeli invasions, arrests, and raids in the cities and camps of the West Bank have been ongoing since the seventh of last October, in a continuous aggression that coincides with the occupation's ongoing attacks on the Gaza Strip, now entering its 90th consecutive day.
