Israeli military raids on Tulkarem and its refugee camp have now entered the 33rd day, and the assault on Nur Shams camp has reached the 20th day, Al Jazeera reports.

The Wafa news agency reported that the raids have severely damaged infrastructure, including electricity, water, sewage, and communication networks, leaving residents without essential services.

The wide-scale military raids across the West Bank have resulted in the deaths of at least 62 Palestinians, and about 40,000 people evacuated from the Jenin, Tulkarem and Nur Shams camps in the West Bank in a month.

At least 50 people were arrested in overnight raids, according to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) and the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs.
