Since the Israeli military began its large-scale raids targeting militants in the northern West Bank, many residents of the city of Tulkarem appear to be staying in the relative safety of their homes.

Nur Shams, one of the city's refugee camps, was largely blocked off while the Israeli military operated there on Wednesday afternoon. Ambulances and firefighters were waiting to enter the area. Most of Tulkarem's streets were empty, and many shops were closed, partly due to a general strike in the area.

Khaled Al Khouli looked down from his balcony in an apartment block just a five-minute drive from Nur Shams.

"The situation is difficult, the army comes and goes. Their movements are not normal," he told DW.

A military bulldozer has partially torn up the road next door, and the water pipes have been damaged, he said.
