On Friday evening, Israeli soldiers demolished homes in the center of Tulkarem refugee camp, in Tulkarem in the northwestern West Bank, as part of their ongoing aggression against the refugee camp and the Tulkarem city.

Eyewitnesses stated that continuous explosions were heard from inside the refugee camp, specifically in the Al-Nadi neighborhood, with thick smoke rising as a result of the demolition of several homes and the burning of tents.

This caused extensive destruction and significant losses to the citizens’ properties, in addition to destruction of streets and infrastructure.

Eyewitnesses added that Israeli soldiers deployed foot patrols throughout the refugee camp’s neighborhoods, with snipers positioned inside homes and high buildings after taking them over and expelling their residents.

The soldiers continued to forcibly evacuate citizens from their homes under threat of weapons, particularly in the Al-Ghanem, Al-Matar, Abu Al-Foul, Al-Nadi, and Al-Shuhada neighborhoods.

On Friday evening, Palestinian Red Crescent teams managed to enter some neighborhoods of the camp to secure necessary supplies for the besieged families still inside their homes. However, Israeli soldiers obstructed their work and detained them for some time.

Residents suffer from a lack of basic services such as water, electricity, and communications due to the destruction of infrastructure by Israeli bulldozers, as well as severe shortages of food, medical supplies, drinking water, and baby formula.
