🇵🇸 Surviving until the next raid: Life in Nur Shams refugee camp under Israeli assault | Mondoweiss
Since October 7 Israel’s crackdown on the West Bank town of #Tulkarem has intensified. Raids are almost daily, have been more destructive and lethal, and have transformed the lives of more than 8,000 Palestinians living in the city’s refugee camps.
Tulkarem, a small city in the northwestern occupied West Bank, just on the #GreenLine, has become the primary target of Israeli raids in recent years, ever since the resurgence of armed resistance groups in the area in 2022. The formation of the ‘Tulkarem Brigade’, which operates primarily out of the city’s two refugee camps, has prompted an escalation in Israeli military operations, with Israel using everything from foot soldiers to drone strikes to try and quash the armed militias, composed mostly of local young men.
