Israeli forces storm Tulkarem, impose curfew on camp

The Israeli army has raided the occupied West Bank city that was earlier targeted by drone attacks, according to Palestinian media outlets. Footage shared online, and verified by Al Jazeera, shows Israeli military vehicles and bulldozers driving on the streets.

According to the Palestinian Wafa news agency, Israeli forces imposed a curfew on the Tulkarem refugee camp, preventing residents from leaving or entering.


People in Tulkarem scared amid ongoing Israeli raids

Palestinians say Israeli forces have raided the area over and over again and are still there. The roads are empty and people are scared.

This morning, a 14-year-old in Tulkarem was going to the mosque with his father for prayers when he was shot dead by Israeli forces. He was shot in the neck. His father was hit in the abdomen.

This is telling Palestinians that snipers are sometimes shooting to kill.


Nearly two dozen arrested in occupied West Bank

According to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Club, Israeli forces have arrested 22 people, including former prisoners, across the occupied West Bank since last evening.
