Israeli army evacuates 12 homes in Tammun, converts them into military barracks
The Israeli army converted 12 homes of Palestinians in the town of Tammum in the West Bank into military barracks.
Speaking to Anadolu news agency, Tammun Mayor Najeh Bani Odeh said the Israeli army on its second day of incursion pushed further reinforcements and bulldozers there.
He said the army has so far destroyed more than a mile of the town’s roads, including much of its infrastructure.
Bani Odeh also said the army evacuated 12 families from their homes, turning them into military barracks and setting up snipers on them.
He described the situation in Tammun as “dangerous,” saying residents are living in fear and unable to leave their homes.
He also confirmed the Israeli army is conducting a campaign of arrests and field interrogations targeting dozens of residents in the town.
Since October 2023, more than 900 Palestinians have been killed across the West Bank in attacks by Israeli forces and settlers.
For the second day, the Israeli army has been carrying out raids and attacks in Tammun town and the Far’a refugee camp in the Tubas governorate.
The escalation in the West Bank came after a ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal took hold in Gaza on Jan. 19.
It followed 15 months of Israel’s genocide in Gaza that killed more than 47,500 Palestinians.
