Early Thursday morning, Israeli occupation forces invaded the city of Tulkarem, in the northwestern part of the occupied West Bank, and destroyed infrastructure; the invasion came hours after the undercover Israeli soldiers assassinated a Palestinian in Tulkarem refugee camp.
Media sources reported that many military vehicles, accompanied by three armored bulldozers, invaded the city from its western area, patrolling its main streets, specifically Al-Alami, Al-Quds Open University, and Nablus streets, passing by the entrance of Tulkarem refugee camp, and heading towards Nur Shams refugee camp, east of the city.
The sources added that the bulldozers leveled the area around “Martyr Saif Abu Libda Square” at the entrance of Nur Shams refugee camp, destroying the infrastructure in the area.
The soldiers also bulldozed the entrances of shops along the main street adjacent to the refugee camp.
Israeli forces imposed a tight siege on the refugee camp, leading to protests while military drones flew overhead.
Later, an Israeli drone fired a missile at a site in the camp’s main area, with no immediate reports of casualties due to the strict siege on the camp.
Additionally, the power supply was cut off to the refugee camp, Iktaba suburb, and parts of the city, due to the Israeli military destruction of infrastructure.
On Wednesday night, undercover Israeli soldiers infiltrated the Tulkarem refugee camp, in Tulkarem, and assassinated a Palestinian man, Husam Bassam Yousef Mallah, 30, after shooting him from point-blank range in a shop.
