Tulkarem-Ma'an-Early on Friday morning, the Israeli forces raided the city of Tulkarem in the northern West Bank and carried an inspection campaign of several houses in the city.
At the same time, the Israeli forces tightened their siege on the Tulkarem governorate, setting up a number of new temporary military barriers at the entrances to communities and at traffic junctions across the governorate, thereby obstructing the citizens' movement.
The Ma'an correspondent added that the Israeli forces erected again a military barrier at the crossroads in Ba'ah, a town east of Tulkarem, and another at the crossroads in Attil, a town north of Tulkarem.
This comes after a 15-year old boy had his leg broken by the Israeli soldiers stationed at the Attil checkpoint on Thursday evening. Sameh Jamal Mohammad Al-Kahlah was beaten up in full view of Palestinian civilians waiting to cross the checkpoint and, after fainting as a result of the brutal treatment, was detained and taken away.
