Israeli forces blew up the main gate to the Fatah’s headquarters in central Tulkarem, the party’s regional secretary Iyad Jarad told the Wafa news agency.

He added that the Israeli troops went through the party’s files and vandalised some of their content, including the Palestinian flag and the party banner.

In addition, Israeli forces violently raided two exchange shops in Tulkarem and declared them to be illegal operations, according to Wafa.
