Israeli occupation forces have continued their military assault on the city and refugee camp of Tulkarem for the fifth consecutive day, carrying out widespread demolitions of public and private properties, infrastructure destruction, and home explosions, Wafa reports.

At dawn, Israeli forces detained five young men after besieging two houses in the city. The raid was accompanied by heavy gunfire and the intensive presence of reconnaissance drones flying at low altitudes.

Wafa correspondent reported that Israeli soldiers surrounded a house in the Al-Muhandisin Housing area east of the city. Using loudspeakers, they ordered those inside to surrender. Simultaneously, a special Israeli military unit, supported by armored vehicles, besieged another house in the southern part of the city.
