Israeli armored vehicles attempt to run over Palestinian journalists in Tulkarem [Original post] Israeli armored vehicles attempt to run over Palestinian journalists while they are covering the raid on Tulkarem refugee camp. #WestBank [Tags: Devastation, Threat, Vehicles, Soldiers and Settlers, Caterpillar D9, Raid, Blocking Ambulances, Sniper Rifle, Wounded, Rescue, Bulldozer, Shrapnel, Journalism, Living conditions, Infrastructure, Urbicide, Terror, Property, Freedom of expression, Armored vehicle, Drone strike, Artillery shelling] [Found by: @DmodosCutter] [Location: West Bank > Jenin > Tulkarm > Kfar Dan] [Archivist Notes] Tulkarm or Tulkarem (Arabic: طولكرم, Ṭūlkarm) is a Palestinian city in the West Bank, the capital of the Tulkarm Governorate of the State of Palestine : Tulkarm came under Israeli occupation following the Six-Day War. Israeli Civil Administration took control of Tulkarm from the military government. : After the Oslo Accords, control of Tulkarm was transferred to the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) on December 10, becoming the third city from which Israeli forces withdrew. Early 2000s : During the Second Intifada, Israel temporarily reoccupied Tulkarm : Israeli military administration ended, and control of Tulkarm was returned to the PNA , which imposed new weapons restrictions on militants. October 19, 2023 : The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) re-entered Tulkarm. Israel carries out very frequent raids there and the agricultural lands are subject to frequent attacks by settlers and soldiers. Since August 28, 2024 , Israel has launched a large-scale offensive on various cities in the northern West Bank, called "Operation Summer Camp" What is Israel Doing to Palestinians in Tulkarm? Frequent Israeli Raids: Tulkarm, a city and refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, faces near-daily Israeli raids . Israel claims these operations target militants, particularly from Hamas’ military wing, the Qassam Brigades. However, these raids involve significant destruction of civilian infrastructure. Destruction of Homes and Infrastructure: During the raids, Israeli forces deploy bulldozers to destroy large residential areas, schools, and hospitals . Homes are set on fire, and Israeli troops reportedly prevent local relief workers from extinguishing these blazes. Collective Punishment Tactics: This destruction aims to collectively punish the population, according to experts, in response to pockets of armed resistance against the Israeli occupation. Following the Activist Shadi Abdullah , who documents Israeli abuses, Israeli forces used to demolish homes intentionally cut off basic necessities such as water and electricity. Israeli soldiers cooperate with illegal settlers to attack civilians, adding to the fear and hardship faced by Palestinians in Tulkarm. Civilian Impact: Civilians in Tulkarm are constantly at risk from both Israeli forces and settlers, as the city lies between several Israeli settlements. The destruction of residential areas forces Palestinians into overcrowded, remaining safe zones, further increasing the already high population density due to previous displacements. Strategic Importance of Tulkarm: Tulkarm holds strategic value for its fertile agricultural land and access to natural water resources. However, the illegal Israeli settlements have appropriated much of this land, forcing Palestinian farmers to rely on expensive tanker water and rainwater collection systems. Role of Drones and Heavy Weaponry: Drones play a key role in Israeli raids, providing air cover and targeting Palestinian fighters. Israel has used drones extensively in other West Bank cities like Jenin and Nur Shams, where they killed several Palestinians in July, Augustus and September, since the beginning of "Operation Summer Camp" Israel’s use of drones, bulldozers, and heavy military equipment is part of a broader strategy to instill fear in younger generations and suppress armed resistance. However, this tactic has not succeeded in demoralizing the civilian population, who continue to support the resistance movement as part of the broader struggle against Israeli occupation.

Israeli Army offensive on West Bank : Day 8 of systematic destruction [Original post] Israeli occupation forces continue their wide-scale offensive in Jenin for the eighth day in a row. [Tags: Caterpillar D9, Roads, Raid, Water, Blocking Ambulances, Blocking Aid, Bulldozer, Starvation, Living conditions, Infrastructure, Unlawful detention, Urbicide, Terror, Dehydration, Healthcare System, Siege] [Found by: Quds News Network] [Location: West Bank > Jenin] [Archivist Notes] Jenin Siege during "Operation Summer Camp": Launched on Aug. 28, 2024, by Israel, it is the largest military invasion in the northern West Bank in over two decades. The operation focuses on Jenin, with simultaneous actions in other cities like Tubas, Nablus, Ramallah, and Tulkarem. Israel justifies the operation as a fight against Palestinian resistance groups like the Jenin Brigades. Civilian Infrastructure Destroyed: Israeli forces heavily damaged civilian infrastructure in Jenin refugee camp, described as a form of collective punishment.Bulldozers and armored vehicles destroyed homes, streets, and markets. 70% of camp streets and surrounding areas were bulldozed. The refugee camp has been turned into a battlefield, forcing residents to stay indoors. Siege on Jenin: The siege blocked access to essential resources like water, food, and medicine. Civilians, including children, the elderly, and the chronically ill, have been trapped inside without help. Some women and children managed to escape at gunpoint, while men and boys were detained. Mass Arrests and Human Rights Violations: Israeli forces carried out mass arrests of men and boys, including 72-year-old Khayriyeh Khrayneh’s family members. Her husband (a diabetic) and eldest son (a cancer patient) were arrested despite needing medical care. Eyewitnesses described brutal tactics: Palestinian detainees were used as human shields, and attack dogs were unleashed on families. Journalists and media correspondants are systematically threatened by Israeli vehicles or reckless shooting. Blocking Medical Access: Ambulances were denied entry to the camp, and paramedics were shot at, preventing the retrieval of bodies. The main hospital in Jenin was put under lockdown by Israeli Border Police, turning the surrounding area into a "closed military zone." Even when ambulances were allowed through, they were stopped, and patients were forced to show ID before being admitted. Deaths and Casualties: At least 19 Palestinians were killed in Jenin during the siege, including minors. An 83-year-old man, Tawfiq Qandeel, was shot by Israeli forces and left to die without medical help. His body was later run over by military vehicles. Three Palestinian children were killed when their vespa was bombed while delivering bread to the residents of Jenin. Since October 2023, nearly 700 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank, with 185 in Jenin alone. Brutality of Military Tactics: The operation in Jenin involved anti-tank rifle grenades destroying civilian infrastructure, sporadic gunfire, and drones flying overhead (likely for surveillance or attacks). Civilians described widespread fear and destruction, with Israeli soldiers using homes as military outposts and placing snipers on rooftops. Worsening Humanitarian Crisis: The Israeli military siege left Jenin and nearby cities under curfew, with road closures and checkpoints stifling movement for both residents and journalists. Palestinians were unable to access basic necessities like flour and baby food due to the complete lockdown of the city. Medical staff, such as nurses, reported being unable to go home for days due to the danger posed by the military operation. Israeli Justification: Israeli military leadership stated their intention to target Palestinian armed resistance, stating they would move "from city to city, refugee camp to refugee camp." But despite their claims of targeting militants, the majority of the casualties were civilians, deepening resentment among the Palestinian population and increasing support for resistance groups. Collective Punishment and Civilian Displacement: Civilians in Jenin reported feeling that the military operations were designed to push them out of their homes . Jenin’s residents are increasingly describing the siege as an effort to depopulate the area . Residents drew comparisons between the treatment of Jenin and Gaza, seeing the same tactics of displacement and destruction being used in both regions. Source :

"The map of the West Bank erased by Netanyahu. The official population of Palestine is 5.1 million. 3.2 million of them live in cities in the West Bank. For the past seven days, Israeli military bulldozers have been carrying out large-scale demolitions in Jenin, Tulkarem, and Tubas, rendering these areas uninhabitable. The cities’ road, water, and electricity infrastructure are being destroyed, and Palestinian families are being forced to leave their homes. Journalists documenting the ongoing destruction in these cities are being targeted. In other cities across the West Bank, military raids and arrests continue at full speed. Israeli military operations have intensified in the northern West Bank cities of Jenin, Tulkarem, and Tubas, as well as in Hebron in the south. After Gaza, the entire West Bank has now been declared a military war zone. More than 3 million of the approximately 5.4 million Palestinians live in the West Bank, while over 2 million struggle to survive in Gaza. (According to official records, in just seven months, 689 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank and over 40,000 in Gaza.) For a long time, the Israeli government has been demolishing Palestinian homes and seizing their lands to designate new settlement areas. Jewish settlers are being relocated to these forcibly seized properties under the protection of the Israeli army. Including the 200,000 Israelis living in East Jerusalem, the number of Jewish settlers in the West Bank has reached 500,000. While the Palestinian population is being massacred in Gaza, the invasion and annexation process is rapidly advancing in the West Bank. Netanyahu showcased a map outlining the annexation of the occupied West Bank, and a similar fate awaiting Gaza. The International Court of Justice determined Israel’s presence in Palestinian territory to be unlawful, an act of aggression that must end. Israel must be induced to comply. While Israel Surrounds West Bank Hospitals, Restricting Access, Power, and Water Jenin is once again the epicenter of a massive military offensive, with hundreds of troops, backed by armored vehicles, fighter jets and drones, raiding the city along with Tubas, Tulkarem, and elsewhere. Many of the same tactics used by the Israeli military in 2002 and since are being repeated in this latest assault: killings, arrests, home demolitions, destruction of civilian infrastructure, and attacks on hospitals."

Arrival of the body of martyred child, Muhammad Abdullah Kanaan to Thabet Thabet Hospital [Original post] 🇵🇸💔Arrival of the body of martyred child, Muhammad Abdullah Kanaan, from Tulkarm camp to Thabet Thabet Hospital, West Bank🥀 [Tags: Devastation, Hospital, Soldiers and Settlers, Caterpillar D9, Raid, Sniper Rifle, Murder, Bulldozer, Living conditions, Infrastructure, Urbicide, Dehumanization, Terror, Property, Children, Families, Armored vehicle, Drone strike, Artillery shelling] [Found by: @EllenJeanAbare] [Location: West Bank > Tulkarm > Thabet Thabet Hospital] [Archivist Notes] Tulkarm or Tulkarem (Arabic: طولكرم, Ṭūlkarm) is a Palestinian city in the West Bank, the capital of the Tulkarm Governorate of the State of Palestine : Tulkarm came under Israeli occupation following the Six-Day War. Israeli Civil Administration took control of Tulkarm from the military government. : After the Oslo Accords, control of Tulkarm was transferred to the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) on December 10, becoming the third city from which Israeli forces withdrew. Early 2000s : During the Second Intifada, Israel temporarily reoccupied Tulkarm : Israeli military administration ended, and control of Tulkarm was returned to the PNA , which imposed new weapons restrictions on militants. October 19, 2023 : The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) re-entered Tulkarm. Israel carries out very frequent raids there and the agricultural lands are subject to frequent attacks by settlers and soldiers. Since August 28, 2024 , Israel has launched a large-scale offensive on various cities in the northern West Bank, called "Operation Summer Camp" What is Israel Doing to Palestinians in Tulkarm? Frequent Israeli Raids: Tulkarm, a city and refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, faces near-daily Israeli raids . Israel claims these operations target militants, particularly from Hamas’ military wing, the Qassam Brigades. However, these raids involve significant destruction of civilian infrastructure. Destruction of Homes and Infrastructure: During the raids, Israeli forces deploy bulldozers to destroy large residential areas, schools, and hospitals . Homes are set on fire, and Israeli troops reportedly prevent local relief workers from extinguishing these blazes. Collective Punishment Tactics: This destruction aims to collectively punish the population, according to experts, in response to pockets of armed resistance against the Israeli occupation. Following the Activist Shadi Abdullah , who documents Israeli abuses, Israeli forces used to demolish homes intentionally cut off basic necessities such as water and electricity. Israeli soldiers cooperate with illegal settlers to attack civilians, adding to the fear and hardship faced by Palestinians in Tulkarm. Civilian Impact: Civilians in Tulkarm are constantly at risk from both Israeli forces and settlers, as the city lies between several Israeli settlements. The destruction of residential areas forces Palestinians into overcrowded, remaining safe zones, further increasing the already high population density due to previous displacements. Strategic Importance of Tulkarm: Tulkarm holds strategic value for its fertile agricultural land and access to natural water resources. However, the illegal Israeli settlements have appropriated much of this land, forcing Palestinian farmers to rely on expensive tanker water and rainwater collection systems. Role of Drones and Heavy Weaponry: Drones play a key role in Israeli raids, providing air cover and targeting Palestinian fighters. Israel has used drones extensively in other West Bank cities like Jenin and Nur Shams, where they killed several Palestinians in July, Augustus and September, since the beginning of "Operation Summer Camp" Israel’s use of drones, bulldozers, and heavy military equipment is part of a broader strategy to instill fear in younger generations and suppress armed resistance. However, this tactic has not succeeded in demoralizing the civilian population, who continue to support the resistance movement as part of the broader struggle against Israeli occupation.

The operation focuses on Jenin, with simultaneous actions in other cities like Tubas, Nablus, Ramallah, and Tulkarem. Israel justifies the operation as a fight against Palestinian resistance groups like the Jenin Brigades. Civilian Infrastructure Destroyed: Israeli forces heavily damaged civilian infrastructure in Jenin refugee camp, described as a form of collective punishment.Bulldozers and armored vehicles destroyed homes, streets, and markets. 70% of camp streets and surrounding areas were bulldozed. The refugee camp has been turned into a battlefield, forcing residents to stay indoors. Siege on Jenin: The siege blocked access to essential resources like water, food, and medicine. Civilians, including children, the elderly, and the chronically ill, have been trapped inside without help. Some women and children managed to escape at gunpoint, while men and boys were detained. Mass Arrests and Human Rights Violations: Israeli forces carried out mass arrests of men and boys, including 72-year-old Khayriyeh Khrayneh’s family members. Her husband (a diabetic) and eldest son (a cancer patient) were arrested despite needing medical care. Eyewitnesses described brutal tactics: Palestinian detainees were used as human shields, and attack dogs were unleashed on families. Journalists and media correspondants are systematically threatened by Israeli vehicles or reckless shooting. Blocking Medical Access: Ambulances were denied entry to the camp, and paramedics were shot at, preventing the retrieval of bodies. The main hospital in Jenin was put under lockdown by Israeli Border Police, turning the surrounding area into a "closed military zone." Even when ambulances were allowed through, they were stopped, and patients were forced to show ID before being admitted. Deaths and Casualties: At least 19 Palestinians were killed in Jenin during the siege, including minors. An 83-year-old man, Tawfiq Qandeel, was shot by Israeli forces and left to die without medical help. His body was later run over by military vehicles. Three Palestinian children were killed when their vespa was bombed while delivering bread to the residents of Jenin. Since October 2023, nearly 700 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank, with 185 in Jenin alone. Brutality of Military Tactics: The operation in Jenin involved anti-tank rifle grenades destroying civilian infrastructure, sporadic gunfire, and drones flying overhead (likely for surveillance or attacks). Civilians described widespread fear and destruction, with Israeli soldiers using homes as military outposts and placing snipers on rooftops. Worsening Humanitarian Crisis: The Israeli military siege left Jenin and nearby cities under curfew, with road closures and checkpoints stifling movement for both residents and journalists. Palestinians were unable to access basic necessities like flour and baby food due to the complete lockdown of the city.

The operation focuses on Jenin, with simultaneous actions in other cities like Tubas, Nablus, Ramallah, and Tulkarem. Israel justifies the operation as a fight against Palestinian resistance groups like the Jenin Brigades. Civilian Infrastructure Destroyed: Israeli forces heavily damaged civilian infrastructure in Jenin refugee camp, described as a form of collective punishment.Bulldozers and armored vehicles destroyed homes, streets, and markets. 70% of camp streets and surrounding areas were bulldozed. The refugee camp has been turned into a battlefield, forcing residents to stay indoors. Siege on Jenin: The siege blocked access to essential resources like water, food, and medicine. Civilians, including children, the elderly, and the chronically ill, have been trapped inside without help. Some women and children managed to escape at gunpoint, while men and boys were detained. Mass Arrests and Human Rights Violations: Israeli forces carried out mass arrests of men and boys, including 72-year-old Khayriyeh Khrayneh’s family members. Her husband (a diabetic) and eldest son (a cancer patient) were arrested despite needing medical care. Eyewitnesses described brutal tactics: Palestinian detainees were used as human shields, and attack dogs were unleashed on families. Journalists and media correspondants are systematically threatened by Israeli vehicles or reckless shooting. Blocking Medical Access: Ambulances were denied entry to the camp, and paramedics were shot at, preventing the retrieval of bodies. The main hospital in Jenin was put under lockdown by Israeli Border Police, turning the surrounding area into a "closed military zone." Even when ambulances were allowed through, they were stopped, and patients were forced to show ID before being admitted. Deaths and Casualties: At least 19 Palestinians were killed in Jenin during the siege, including minors. An 83-year-old man, Tawfiq Qandeel, was shot by Israeli forces and left to die without medical help. His body was later run over by military vehicles. Three Palestinian children were killed when their vespa was bombed while delivering bread to the residents of Jenin. Since October 2023, nearly 700 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank, with 185 in Jenin alone. Brutality of Military Tactics: The operation in Jenin involved anti-tank rifle grenades destroying civilian infrastructure, sporadic gunfire, and drones flying overhead (likely for surveillance or attacks). Civilians described widespread fear and destruction, with Israeli soldiers using homes as military outposts and placing snipers on rooftops. Worsening Humanitarian Crisis: The Israeli military siege left Jenin and nearby cities under curfew, with road closures and checkpoints stifling movement for both residents and journalists. Palestinians were unable to access basic necessities like flour and baby food due to the complete lockdown of the city. Medical staff, such as nurses, reported being unable to go home for days due to the danger posed by the military operation. Israeli Justification: Israeli military leadership stated their intention to target Palestinian armed resistance, stating they would move "from city to city, refugee camp to refugee camp." But despite their claims of targeting militants, the majority of the casualties were civilians, deepening resentment among the Palestinian population and increasing support for resistance groups. Collective Punishment and Civilian Displacement: Civilians in Jenin reported feeling that the military operations were designed to push them out of their homes . Jenin’s residents are increasingly describing the siege as an effort to depopulate the area . Residents drew comparisons between the treatment of Jenin and Gaza, seeing the same tactics of displacement and destruction being used in both regions. Source :

Proudly defying IDF vehicles raiding Tulkarm [Original post] #شاهد بين جرافات وآليات الاحتلال.. فلسطيني يرفع العلم الفلسطيني في رسالة تحد للعدوان المستمر على طولكرم.

Israeli Civil Administration took control of Tulkarm from the military government. : After the Oslo Accords, control of Tulkarm was transferred to the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) on December 10, becoming the third city from which Israeli forces withdrew. Early 2000s : During the Second Intifada, Israel temporarily reoccupied Tulkarm : Israeli military administration ended, and control of Tulkarm was returned to the PNA , which imposed new weapons restrictions on militants. October 19, 2023 : The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) re-entered Tulkarm. Israel carries out very frequent raids there and the agricultural lands are subject to frequent attacks by settlers and soldiers. Since August 28, 2024 , Israel has launched a large-scale offensive on various cities in the northern West Bank, called "Operation Summer Camp" What is Israel Doing to Palestinians in Tulkarm? Frequent Israeli Raids: Tulkarm, a city and refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, faces near-daily Israeli raids . Israel claims these operations target militants, particularly from Hamas’ military wing, the Qassam Brigades. However, these raids involve significant destruction of civilian infrastructure. Destruction of Homes and Infrastructure: During the raids, Israeli forces deploy bulldozers to destroy large residential areas, schools, and hospitals . Homes are set on fire, and Israeli troops reportedly prevent local relief workers from extinguishing these blazes. Collective Punishment Tactics: This destruction aims to collectively punish the population, according to experts, in response to pockets of armed resistance against the Israeli occupation. Following the Activist Shadi Abdullah , who documents Israeli abuses, Israeli forces used to demolish homes intentionally cut off basic necessities such as water and electricity. Israeli soldiers cooperate with illegal settlers to attack civilians, adding to the fear and hardship faced by Palestinians in Tulkarm. Civilian Impact: Civilians in Tulkarm are constantly at risk from both Israeli forces and settlers, as the city lies between several Israeli settlements. The destruction of residential areas forces Palestinians into overcrowded, remaining safe zones, further increasing the already high population density due to previous displacements. Strategic Importance of Tulkarm: Tulkarm holds strategic value for its fertile agricultural land and access to natural water resources. However, the illegal Israeli settlements have appropriated much of this land, forcing Palestinian farmers to rely on expensive tanker water and rainwater collection systems. Role of Drones and Heavy Weaponry: Drones play a key role in Israeli raids, providing air cover and targeting Palestinian fighters. Israel has used drones extensively in other West Bank cities like Jenin and Nur Shams, where they killed several Palestinians in July, Augustus and September, since the beginning of "Operation Summer Camp" Israel’s use of drones, bulldozers, and heavy military equipment is part of a broader strategy to instill fear in younger generations and suppress armed resistance. However, this tactic has not succeeded in demoralizing the civilian population, who continue to support the resistance movement as part of the broader struggle against Israeli occupation.
