The head of the Tulkarm Doctors Syndicate, Radwan Balibla, said that an Israeli soldier stabbed one of the injured people inside the ambulance, pointing out that other injuries were assaulted and beaten up with kicks, punches, and rifles amidst threats to kill them by the soldiers, and not allowing them to reach the hospital.
WAFA correspondent reported that the occupation forces, with their military vehicles and bulldozers, stormed Tulkarm from its western axis, heading toward the Nur Shams camp, east of the city, and imposing a tight siege on it.
Israeli forces also stormed a number of homes in various neighborhoods of the camp and conducted a wide search inside them.

Meanwhile, Israeli soldiers mounted the roofs of high-rise buildings inside and around the camp and turned them into observation points, while bulldozers razed the infrastructure in the main streets of the camp.
The occupation deliberately caused significant disruption to communications and internet networks inside the camp, while sounds of explosions were heard in the area.
This is the second Israeli raid in Tulkarm in 24 hours, which resulted in the destruction of citizens’ property and the bombing of their homes.
