RNA - The Israeli forces set up checkpoints on all of the city’s entrances and side roads, stopped cars, inspected their occupants and then turned them back preventing them from leaving the city to reach their work places or schools outside it, WAFA reported.

Meanwhile, Israeli soldiers raided several suburbs in the city, broke into homes and ransacked them.

Tulkarm has been the target for almost daily raids and searches after the Israeli army has intensified its presence in that area under the pretext of pursuing Ashraf Na’alweh, the main suspect in killing two Israeli settlers last month in the illegal Israel settlement of Barkan.

The army has distributed leaflets to the residents warning them against hiding Na’alweh and to turn him in. Na’alweh’s parents and sisters have been under constant harassment by the army ever since the incident.
