"Israeli" forces have escalated their military operations in the West Bank, initially launched in Jenin, and have now spread to other areas, including Tulkarm.

 

The aggression on Tulkarm continues for the second consecutive day.

 

Tulkarm city is facing military escalation similar to that in Jenin, with airstrikes targeting the Tulkarm refugee camp. Among the targets were two members of the Qassam Brigades, Ehab Mohamed Attewi, 23, and Rami Bassam Dmeiri, 24, who were martyred in the attack.

 

Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) also launched intense airstrikes on the camp and infiltrated it with special forces, supported by military reinforcements. The Tulkarm Battalion of Quds Brigades reported discovering an "Israeli" special forces unit and firing at them heavily.

 

"Israeli" forces imposed a tight siege on a hospital in Tulkarm, with continuous low-altitude reconnaissance flights, raising fears of a large-scale military operation like the one in Jenin.

 

Humanitarian crisis in Jenin

 

In Jenin, "Israeli" attacks have continued for the seventh consecutive day, focusing on destroying infrastructure and homes in the camp.

 

Over 100 homes have been destroyed, with many others burned, forcing thousands to flee. Hospitals, especially Jenin Government Hospital, are isolated due to damaged roads.

 

Jenin’s Mayor reported that 55 percent of the population is without water due to damaged water lines, worsening the crisis. Between 70 to 80 homes have been burned, and 30 to 40 destroyed.

 

The city is facing severe humanitarian hardship, with over 70 people in urgent need of assistance trapped in the camp, unable to receive help due to blockages of medical teams.

 

Calls for Jenin to be declared a disaster area

 

Local and international calls are growing to declare Jenin a disaster area as military operations continue, leaving over 16 martyrs and 50 injured so far.

 

Resistance response

 

In response to the aggression, the Qassam Brigades vowed that the blood of martyrs would not be in vain, calling for an intensification of resistance.

 

Resistance factions continue to confront "Israeli" forces, with operations intensifying in northern West Bank areas like Jenin and Tulkarm, where the occupation aims to dismantle popular support for resistance.
