Four Palestinians killed in Israeli strikes on West Bank

Four Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on the occupied West Bank, amid intensified clashes between Palestinian resistance fighters and the occupying regime’s forces.

The Palestinian health ministry said in a brief statement on Tuesday that two people were killed in an Israeli bombing of al-Shuhada Village, south of Jenin.

According to eyewitnesses, the two were killed when an Israeli drone bombed a vehicle.

This comes as Israeli forces have been trying to storm Qabatiya town, south of Jenin, since Monday night.

The Jenin Battalion of the al-Quds Brigades, part of the military wing of the Islamic Jihad resistance movement, said its fighters ambushed invading Israeli forces, inflicting casualties on them.

The al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades also said that its fighters were engaged in “fierce clashes” with the Israeli forces in Qabatiyah, adding that casualties were reported among the Israeli forces.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces killed two other Palestinians in Tammun city, south of Tubas, according to medical sources.

Eyewitnesses said one of them was killed when Israeli forces pounded his home with ENERGA projectiles. The victim was identified as Hani Bani Odeh.

The health ministry noted that the body of the other martyr was seized by the Israeli troops.

Israeli settlers torch Palestinian cars, homes in West Bank town

Israeli settlers shielded by troops have stormed the town of Bireh, setting on fire Palestinian property and vehicles.

The airstrikes in Tubas came after the Israeli forces failed to confront the resistance fighters on the ground, Palestinian reports said.

The al-Quds Brigades said its fighters caused “confirmed casualties” among the Israeli forces in al-Far'a camp in Tubas.

In Tulkarm, the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, al-Quds Brigades and al-Asifah Forces reported that their fighters were engaged in “fierce clashes” with Israeli forces who invaded the Nour Shams camp.

“Armed clash” also took place in Ramallah between fighters from the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades and Israeli forces storming the village of Kafr Malik.

Israel has ramped up violence against Palestinians in the West Bank since it launched a genocidal war in Gaza in October 2023.

The regime forces have killed nearly 770 Palestinians and abducted at least 11,500 others in the West Bank ever since.
