Nida Ibrahim, reporting for Al Jazeera in the occupied West Bank, has said that Israeli bulldozers levelled roads to the point that it’s making it difficult for the Palestinian people to move around.

“While the Israeli forces say that the main goal is to target armed men, Palestinians will tell you it is also to destroy their livelihoods, to make it really impossible for anyone to think about something that would be seen as showing resistance towards Israel,” she said.

Israeli forces are carrying out an incursion with bulldozers and armoured personnel carriers that has now lasted more than 24 hours in Tulkarem. About 17,000 people live in the Nur Shams camp, according to Al Jazeera.
