Seven more injured in occupied West Bank: Report
Israeli forces have injured seven more Palestinians during their raid of Tulkarem’s Nur Shams refugee camp, which has now taken place for about 40 hours, according to Palestinian media reports citing the Palestinian Red Crescent Society.
As we reported earlier, five people, including a teenager, have already been killed during the raid.
Nur Shams raid continues full force
The raid doesn’t seem to be ending. We’re not only hearing sounds of Israeli drones but also of bombs. The Tulkarem Battalion just released a statement saying they will continue to engage in armed confrontations with the Israeli forces in the camp.
Because of the situation and how risky it is, it’s hard for us and much of the media to go inside the camp. But we’re seeing videos of the destruction, which is unlike anything we’ve seen before. We’re looking at a very large level of destruction and demolition.
Palestinians in the camp say Israeli forces are going from one home to another. This is something we’ve seen before – homes being turned into detention centres and mass detentions.
Anyone who lives in the camp is enduring a lot and could be subjected to beatings or arrests.
Three homes destroyed, 11 injured today in Nur Shams: Report
At least 11 people in Nur Shams have been injured today and three homes blown up as Israel’s raid on the refugee camp, now continuing for more than 40 hours, drags on, reports the Wafa news agency. Seven of the people were hit by Israeli bullets, while four were beaten by Israeli soldiers, said Wafa.
The wounded were taken to Martyr Dr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital and Al-Israa Speciality Hospital in Tulkarem. The raid has been described as one of the most destructive ever in the camp, with Israelis bulldozers wrecking much of its infrastructure.

Thirty arrested in West Bank in last two days: Palestinian Prisoner’s Society
Israeli forces have detained 30 Palestinians throughout the occupied West Bank in the last two days of raids, according to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society. Half of those arrested were taken from the Nur Shams refugee camp, where a more than 40-hour-raid is continuing, said the group.
Three of those arrested include women from Jerusalem who were later released, the group added. The latest arrests bring the total number of Palestinians detained by Israeli forces since October 7 to 8,340.
