Israeli forces kill three Palestinians during separate West Bank raids
Israeli forces have killed three more Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, where Zionist troops' violence surges alongside the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip which began on October 7, 2023.
The Palestinian Health ministry reported on Thursday that an Israeli drone strike on the Nour Shams camp in Tulkarm killed two people, including a child, according to the Palestinian news agency WAFA.
Also one Palestinian was shot and killed by the Israeli army overnight in the refugee camp of Tulkarm, while he was in a supermarket near the entrance to the camp, the health ministry added.
Israeli military forces launched operations against Palestinian fighters in the camp early Thursday, storming into the city with vehicles and three heavy bulldozers.
The troops moved through the western axis, traversing the main streets and entering the Tulkarm camp, where they destroyed local infrastructure and demolished the entrances to shops lining the main street next to the camp.
Also the Israeli forces have reportedly damaged the water and electricity infrastructure serving the camp, leading to widespread outages in both the camp and the Aktaba suburb, along with several areas of the city.
The Tulkarm Battalion of al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, in a statement said that they detonated a powerful explosive device near an Israeli military bulldozer in an effort to disrupt an Israeli military operation.
Israeli raids extended to various towns and cities across the West Bank, with reports from Wafa detailing a raid in Dura, southwest of al-Khalil. During this operation, Israeli forces discharged live ammunition and sound bombs while conducting home searches and making multiple arrests.
Moreover, Israeli forces raided the villages of Salem, Rojib and Beit Furik, east of Nablus, arresting three people. They also stormed the town of Jayyous, east of Qalqilya, where one man was detained; the town of az-Zawiya, west of Salfit; and the town of Beitunia, west of Ramallah, where a vehicle was confiscated.
Since the Israeli regime launched the genocidal war on Gaza, Israeli forces and Zionist settlers have killed at least 764 Palestinians, including 166 children, in the West Bank, according to the Ramallah-based health ministry.
So far, the occupying regime has killed more than 43,163 Palestinians, mostly women and children and wounded 101,510 others in Gaza.
