Zionist regime troops have withdrawn from the Nur Shams camp on the West Bank of the Jordan River. On Thursday morning, the Zionist army launched a massive incursion into the Nur Shams camp in the West Bank suburb of Tulkarm, killing 20 Palestinians and wounding dozens more. Some of these people were killed in Israeli drone attacks, others were shot. According to Al Jazeera TV, the Israeli army withdrew from the Nur Shams camp after a 27-hour invasion. The Israeli army has admitted that one of its soldiers was killed in a clash with Palestinian fighters in the Nur Shams camp. The occupation regime's army also reported that ten soldiers were wounded during the conflict with the Palestinians, some of them in serious condition.

The Iraqi Al-Nujba Network reported that hundreds of Iraqis headed to Jordan's borders to support Gazans. The Iraqi Radio Television Union said in a statement Thursday evening: "Given the movement of the Iraqi people towards the borders of Jordan and Palestine to declare solidarity with the Palestinian people, we encourage journalists and documentary production teams to adequately cover this event." The alliance stressed that the people of other countries in the region are expected to join the Iraqis. In a statement, the Youth Help Quds Force group called on the Iraqi people to go to the Jordanian border and seek passage to Palestine there to help the Gazans, but the identity of the group was not revealed.

Muqtada al-Sadr, leader of the Sadr Faction in Iraq, also called on Islamic and Arab countries to hold a sit-in and peaceful assembly on the Palestinian border until the blockade of the Gaza Strip is lifted. He said: "Because of my belief in the Palestinian issue in all dimensions, especially in the human aspect, and the belief that the Palestinian issue is still in the hearts of Arabs and Islam, I call on Islamic and Arab countries and all supporters of peace to gather ( at the border) peacefully and without government interference.” Iraq's Kataib Hezbollah also said it had moved to the Jordanian border in support of the Palestinian issue.
