Tulkarm: Israeli occupation forces today set fire to a home in Nour Shams refugee camp, located east of Tulkarm, as the military siege on the camp extends into its 294th consecutive day. Residents continue to face severe disruptions and damage due to the prolonged military presence.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, eyewitnesses report that Israeli soldiers are occupying homes within the camp, converting them into military posts. This occupation has resulted in widespread destruction of homes and properties, with both full and partial demolitions being reported. Additionally, there is significant damage to essential infrastructure, including water networks and electricity lines, which is further exacerbating the living conditions of camp residents.
Nehad al-Shawish, head of the Popular Services Committee of Nour Shams camp, noted that the Israeli forces are currently constructing new roads over the debris of demolished homes. This construction disregards the existing underground water and electricity lines, posing a direct threat to the camp's remaining infrastructure. Al-Shawish emphasized that these roads are intended to facilitate the movement of Israeli military vehicles, effectively imposing a new reality on the camp's residents. He also highlighted the increased humanitarian and service-related risks that these actions entail.
