"Palestinians face mass arrests, displacement in the occupied territory as Netanyahu pushes settlement expansion. Israeli forces have sealed off entrances to Tulkarem in the northern occupied West Bank, further escalating a campaign of raids, arrests and collective punishment that has displaced thousands of Palestinians as the military relentlessly destroys Gaza. Footage from Thursday night shared by residents showed soldiers marching Palestinians in lines through the streets in what many described as a humiliating show of force."
"Tulkarem Governor Abdullah Kamil appealed to the international community on Friday, urging the United Nations General Assembly, the Human Rights Council, and humanitarian groups to act against what he called crimes being committed against the city's nearly 100,000 residents. Kamil said Israeli forces were arbitrarily and unjustly carrying out mass arrests, storming homes, destroying property and terrorising children and women, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa."
