One person has been wounded after being shot in the foot in the city of Tulkarem as Israeli forces continue their military assault on the occupied West Bank for the 66th day, Al Jazeera reports.

The attack occurred in the Shuweika suburb. Israeli forces also launched a large-scale arrest campaign in the Dhahra area, Al Jazeera said, quoting the Palestinian Wafa news agency.

The army dispatched military reinforcements towards Tulkarem city and its two refugee camps, Tulkarem and Nur Shams.

Israeli troops are continuing to forcibly displace residents from the Jabal al-Salihin area in the Nur Shams refugee camp. At least 13 people have been killed during Israel’s ongoing siege on the two camps and the city since the end of January.
