Israeli raid in Tulkarem causes more infrastructure damage

Officials here in Tulkarem say that after Israeli forces withdrew from this area temporarily, they started fixing some of the roads and attempted to return electricity, water and other facilities to the Nur Shams and Tulkarem refugee camps.

Now that Israeli forces have come back again, there has been more destruction to the infrastructure. One of the roads and main entrance to the Tulkarem refugee camp has been completely dug up by Israeli soldiers.

The Israeli forces usually say they are after the improvised explosive devices (IEDs) … which are sometimes planted by the Palestinian fighting groups to thwart the raids of the Israeli army.

However, people here say that this is intentional. This is done to remind Palestinians who controls their lives and who has the ultimate say if they choose to resist the Israeli occupation.
