On Thursday, Israeli attacks on targets in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank again resulted in multiple deaths. The Palestinian Wafa news agency reported that Israel attacked a house in Beit Lahiya in the northern Gaza Strip, killing 11 people. Three people were killed by Israeli forces in an operation in the West Bank, according to Palestinian reports.
According to Palestinians, most of the victims in Gaza are minors and women. When asked, an Israeli army spokesman said the attack that night was the work of terrorists. The military is not yet aware of any other victims. As always, the information provided by both parties cannot be independently verified.
Fighting continues in other parts of the Palestinian territories, according to the military. In the southern coastal city of Rafah, soldiers killed more than 50 terrorists the day before. Additionally, terrorist infrastructure was destroyed.
In the northern West Bank, Israeli forces attacked a house in a refugee community, the Ramallah Health Ministry said. According to Palestinian reports, the army attacked buildings in the town of Tulkarem with rockets. The bodies of three slain Palestinians have been found.
When asked, the Israeli army said the militants were the target of “anti-terrorist operations”. The attack involved an aircraft. Israeli forces often use rocket-firing drones in attacks in the West Bank.
Palestinian media reported that streets and buildings in the area were destroyed in an operation by Israeli forces that began at night. The Israeli military said soldiers were searching for explosive devices under the streets. Armed groups in the West Bank often hide explosive devices on and under roads to target Israeli forces during attacks. The operation in Tulkarem is ongoing, according to the military.
Tulkarm is located on the northern West Bank border with Israel and is considered a stronghold of Palestinian militants. Just earlier this month, nine militants, including a Hamas commander, were killed in Israeli air strikes.
