Two Palestinians killed, others injured by IOF gunfire in Tulkarem

TULKAREM (Palestine Foundation Information Center) A Palestinian teenager and a woman were martyred on Monday morning after the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) stormed Tulkarem City and its refugee camp (Nur Shams), amid intensive gunfire.

A medical source at the Thabet Thabet Hospital identified the martyrs as 15-year-old Mohamed Sarhan and 47-year-old Nisreen Damiri.

Four other citizens reportedly suffered bullet injured during the IOF raid in Tulkarem and Nur Shams camp.

According to local sources, the IOF wreaked havoc on public and private property, including roads, water pipelines and cars, during seven hours of brutal aggression in Tulkarem and the camp.

The sources added that Israeli forces blew up a house in the central area of the camp belonging to brothers Mohamed and Mahmoud al-Zindeeq, which led to a blaze inside it and damaged nearby houses.

The IOF stormed Tulkarem and its refugee camp at dawn, encircled them with forces, prevented the local residents from entering or leaving them and deployed snipers at windows of some tall buildings and on rooftops.
