In the early hours of Sunday morning, two Palestinian youths were martyred (and an Israeli soldier was wounded) during a large-scale raid by Israeli occupation forces into the Nur Shams refugee camp in eastern Tulkarm. The raid was accompanied by a significant presence of military bulldozers.

Medical sources reported the martyrdom of Aseed Farhan Abu Ali (21 years old) and Abdul Rahman Suleiman Abu Daghash (32 years old), who succumbed to live gunfire wounds to their heads.

The Israeli occupation bulldozers began to raze the main street of the camp, causing extensive destruction, while Israeli snipers took position on the rooftops of Palestinian homes.

The Israeli forces had launched the incursion into the camp in significant numbers, accompanied by military bulldozers, amid heavy gunfire. They proceeded to dismantle the main street and the camp’s infrastructure while Israeli snipers occupied the rooftops of residents’ homes.
