[28] Immediately after the withdrawal of the Israeli forces and the widespread destruction in its wake, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas issued instructions to undo the damage caused by the invasion.

The Tulkarm Brigade said in a statement: "Our fighters were able to confront with all their might the occupation forces and vehicles that had penetrated the camp and targeted them with heavy and direct volleys of bullets.

[70] At dawn, Israeli forces began using their military bulldozers to raze several streets in the city's neighborhoods and in Tulkarm camp, destroying Palestinian infrastructure and vehicles.

Following the Israeli withdrawal on the same day, the Minister of Local Government, Majdi al-Saleh, and the Mayor of Tulkarm, Riyad Awad, visit the destroyed streets to investigate their conditions.

[100] The Israeli army confirmed in a statement that it “carried out air operations in Tulkarm targeting a number of armed terrorist groups that opened fire, threw explosives, and threatened the lives of the forces.”[101] The Palestine Red Crescent Society said that "the occupation forces prevented ambulance crews from entering the Nour Shams camp to transport the injured, despite coordination through the International Committee of the Red Cross".

The head of the Arab Affairs Committee in the House of Representatives, Egyptian MP Ahmed Fouad Abaza, said: "The storming of Tulkarm by large forces of the occupation army requires rapid intervention from the international community, with all its countries and organizations in general, and the United States of America in particular, to expedite the adoption of all measures to implement Egypt’s vision, led by President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, to force the occupation government to immediately stop its attacks against the Palestinians".

[5][105] The national and Islamic forces in Tulkarm Governorate announced a comprehensive strike in all aspects of life for Sunday, December 17, 2023, in condemnation of the invasion and mourning for the souls of the Palestinian dead.

[9] In this regard, Tulkarm Mayor Riyad Awad said: "The occupation deliberately destroyed the infrastructure in Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps, which caused power outages and water network outages, due to the occupation striking a number of main lines feeding the camps, in addition to bulldozing the streets and destroying the sewage network, and wastewater began to flow into the streets".

[9] A Fatah leader said, "Nour Shams camp witnessed massive destruction, as if an earthquake had struck it, and the losses amounted to tens of millions of dollars.

[149] In an immediate response to the assassination, the Tulkarm Brigade announced the start of a "large-scale operation until further notice",[150]  ​and the Palestinian Foreign Ministry commented on the scene of an Israeli military vehicle running over one of the three Palestinian dead after killing him, saying, "Running over a Tulkarm martyr is a moral degradation and a translation of official Israeli instructions and incitement, and reflects a fascist, colonial, racist mentality", while Hamas called it a "cowardly assassination".

"[168] The Tulkarm Brigade also said that its engineering unit had "detonated an explosive device in a Nimr military jeep in the Nour Shams camp, which turned into a ball of flames, and achieved confirmed injuries".

[10] The Israeli army forces launched a wide-scale arrest campaign that included dozens of residents of Tulkarm camp, and transferred them to a field investigation center on Al-Sikka Street.

[179] At approximately 3:30 pm on the same day, Wednesday, January 17, 2024, the large Israeli invasion extended to the city's Nour Shams camp, which also witnessed violent clashes and significant destruction in the streets and infrastructure as a result of several hours of demolition from bulldozers.

[182][183] After 45 hours since the start of the invasion, Israel announced the end of this military operation, saying that its forces "searched about 1,000 buildings and found more than 400 explosive devices, some of which were buried under roads.

[184] The UN spokesman commented on this invasion, saying that it resulted in "making more than 20 homes uninhabitable in the Nur Shams and Tulkarm refugee camps, in addition to civilian casualties.

[192] The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that the Israeli army had prevented ambulances from entering the Nour Shams camp to evacuate the dead and wounded during this large-scale military operation.

[199] The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said that the Israeli army obstructed the work of medical crews and prevented ambulances from reaching the wounded in the camp.

[213] The invasion continued until approximately 8:45 am on Thursday, March 21, 2024, and resulted in the killing of four Palestinians and the injury of several others, in addition to the heavy destruction of the city's streets.

[219][220] The Israeli army declared a curfew in the Nour Shams camp, deployed snipers in the area, turned several houses into military barracks, and demolished the home of a wanted Palestinian.

[224][225] The Israeli army completely surrounded the Tulkarm camp in the city, leading to violent clashes breaking out which included several explosions.

The invasion left massive destruction to the infrastructure, streets, traffic light network, main water lines, and caused the postponement of the Palestinian high school exam.

This invasion came only hours after an Israeli air strike on a house in the Nour Shams camp on Sunday afternoon, June 30, 2024, which led to the killing of "Saeed Jaber", one of the leaders of the Tulkarm Brigade.

On the same day, Israel announced the death of one of its soldiers, 22-year-old Major Yehuda Gato, the driver of the vehicle, and the serious injury of another as a result of the explosion, all of whom belonged to the Duvdevan unit as part of the Oz Brigade.

[271][272] Four military bulldozers worked collectively to completely destroy the Younis Roundabout square in the middle of the city, which led to the disappearance of its features and the destruction of its infrastructure.

[273] The bulldozers, including the excavator, swept away Nablus Street in the area adjacent to the Nour Shams camp, turning it into a trench more than three meters deep and completely destroying it in addition to shops, homes, electricity, communications, internet, sewage, and water lines.

[279] The Palestinian government condemned what it described as Israeli aggression on Tulkarm and the unprecedented destruction of the Nour Shams camp, the infrastructure, and the main electricity and water lines in the city.

[280] The National Union of Civil Society Organizations in Tulkarm Governorate also called on the Palestinian government to urgently invite consuls and international institutions to see the extent of the destruction brought on the city.

[285] The invasion continued until approximately 1:30 p.m. on July 23, and resulted in massive destruction, the “widest and most severe” to the infrastructure and streets in the center of the city and the Tulkarm camp.

The devastation also led to the interruption of electricity, communications, the Internet, and water for long hours in many of the city’s neighborhoods, including Tulkarm camp.

[292][293] At approximately 4:50 am on Saturday, August 3, 2024, the Israeli army entered accompanied by bulldozers and completely destroyed the “Al-Alimi Roundabout” (the Palestinian flagpole square) in the city and its surroundings, leading to its comprehensive destruction.
