One person injured by Israeli fire in Tulkarem
One person has been wounded after being shot in the foot in the city of Tulkarem as Israeli forces continue their military assault on the occupied West Bank for the 66th day. The attack occurred in the Shuweika suburb. Local sources told the Palestinian Wafa news agency that Israeli forces also launched a large-scale arrest campaign in the Dhahra area.
The army dispatched military reinforcements towards Tulkarem city and its two refugee camps, Tulkarem and Nur Shams.
Israeli troops are continuing to forcibly displace residents from the Jabal al-Salihin area in the Nur Shams refugee camp. At least 13 people have been killed during Israel’s ongoing siege on the two camps and the city since the end of January.

Israel demolishes home in occupied East Jerusalem
Israeli forces demolished a house in the town of Anata, East Jerusalem, under the pretext of building without a permit.
Local sources told Al Jazeera the demolition in the al-Fuhaidat neighbourhood was one of 13 homes scheduled to be knocked down by Israel’s army. It has also said the houses were close to military sites and, therefore, needed to be destroyed.
In the wake of Israel’s devastating war on Gaza, the Jerusalem municipality has stepped up home demolitions on the east side of the city, which Israel annexed from the occupied West Bank in 1967 and where most of Jerusalem’s 362,000 Palestinians live.
The municipality typically only allows majority Jewish neighbourhoods to build new homes.
