TULKAREM (Palestine Foundation Information Center) A Palestinian resistance fighter was martyred on Wednesday during clashes with the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) in Nur Shams refugee camp in Tulkarem, north of the West Bank.
Photos of the martyr were circulated on the internet showing him lying on the ground with his weapon next to him while Israeli soldiers were standing around him.
Earlier, local sources reported that renewed clashes broke out today between resistance fighters and Israeli forces in Nur Shams camp.
The IOF also stormed a mosque in al-Iyada neighborhood and used its loudspeakers to order the local residents to leave the camp immediately, amid raids on homes.
The Israeli army already displaced thousands of Palestinians and caused widespread destruction to public and private property during its raid in Nur Shams camp, which started four days ago.
The IOF deployed dozens of military vehicles and foot patrols at the camp’s entrances and alleyways, while intensively firing live bullets and stun grenades to cause panic among the residents and force them to leave.
Displaced residents described the situation as “extremely difficult, with homes and stores destroyed, streets leveled, and soldiers savagely raiding homes, wreaking havoc on furniture, assaulting young men, expelling the elderly, without letting them take basic belongings like clothing, and confiscating cellphones.”
