Israeli forces press ahead with their violent raids on Palestinian cities and refugee camps across the occupied West Bank.

The occupied West Bank city of Tulkarm and its refugee camp were the epicenter of the regime’s latest incursions on Sunday night.

In Tulkarm, hundreds of Palestinians were ordered to evacuate their homes, as the Israeli aggression against the city entered its 105th day.

The residents ordered to leave included women, children, and the elderly.

The regime’s forces also raided several residential buildings in the eastern part of the city, specifically those adjacent to the Tulkarm refugee camp.

Separately, Israeli forces raided a Palestinian school complex in the town of Halhul, north of Al-Khalil.

They fired tear gas into the school while students were inside, causing many of them to suffer from suffocation.

Some of the students were taken to the hospital, while others were treated in the field.

Since the beginning of the aggression on Tulkarm and its camps, 13 Palestinians have been killed, including two women and a child, and dozens of others have been wounded or detained.

The onslaught has also caused widespread destruction to infrastructure, homes, and shops, forcing more than 25,000 people to be displaced from their homes in both camps.

In Nablus, Israeli forces besieged a home and shelled it on Friday, and prevented ambulances from reaching the area.

Later, the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) reported that its teams retrieved body parts of a young man from inside the shelled house in Nablus.

According to WAFA, the Israeli forces have withheld the remaining parts of the body.

Since a ceasefire in Gaza was announced in January, Israel has intensified its attacks in Tulkarm, Jenin and other parts of the occupied West Bank.

In March, the regime broke the ceasefire, while it proceeded with its large-scale military raids in the occupied West Bank.
