On Wednesday morning, a young man was hospitalized with severe injuries after he was beaten by Israeli occupation soldiers in the town of Tammoun, south of Tubas.
Medical sources reported that Red Crescent crews dealt with a case of severe beating of a young man in the town of Tammoun, after which he was taken to the hospital.
Tubas Governorate has been witnessing a widespread invasion since midnight last night, in which large forces from the occupation army are participating, accompanied by military bulldozers.
In the early morning hours Wednesday, local sources documented Israeli occupation forces forcibly removing some families from their homes during a wide-scale offensive in the town of Tubas, north of the occupied West Bank.
Local sources report that during the raid, the occupation forces attacked several Palestinian homes across the city.
The Governor of Tubas and the Northern Jordan Valley, Ahmed Asaad, said that the occupation forces sent large reinforcements to Tubas Governorate, accompanied by military bulldozers, which began closing the roads leading to the governorate with earthen barriers, which means isolating it from the rest of the governorates of the West Bank.
He added: “For the first time in years, Apache helicopters have participated in the military maneuver, as they fired their heavy machine guns towards residential areas,” while his forces raided several homes in the city of Tubas and the towns of Tammoun, Al-Fara’a and Tayasir, and took out the residents of some of them, told them to leave their homes and return after several days, while the soldiers used their homes as military barracks.
Al-Asaad denounced the Israeli occupation’s measures, which come at a time when Tubas Governorate is suffering from daily incursions and the abuse of citizens at military checkpoints surrounding the governorate.
He pointed out that the occupation forces imposed a curfew until further notice, and we issued directives to preserve the safety of our people by disrupting the working hours of schools and institutions, keeping emergency committees in all areas under readiness, and working under these difficult security conditions to meet the needs of citizens and provide what they need.
The governor of Tubas added that the Israeli occupation forces limit the movement of ambulances and medical teams, and do not allow access to some medical cases that require medical care, and that there is communication with the International Red Cross to intervene to transport these cases and deal with them.
He called on international community institutions and the International Red Cross to intervene immediately to halt the occupation’s violations and the collective punishment it is imposing on Tubas Governorate, which it uses as a training ground for its forces.
