2 Palestinians killed in West Bank
At least two Palestinians were killed by Israeli army gunfire in the northern West Bank cities of Tulkarm and Tubas early on Monday.
Tulkarm’s Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital confirmed to Anadolu the death of a 21-year-old Palestinian, Youssef Abdel Daim, by the Israeli army fire.
Israeli forces stormed the Thenabeh refugee camp adjacent to Tulkarm, raiding and searching several homes, witnesses reported.
Snipers from special forces were positioned on rooftops, firing into various neighbourhoods, resulting in Abdel Daim’s injury and subsequent death, they added.
Another Palestinian was also killed and four others were injured during an Israeli army raid in the Al Fara camp near Tubas.
Palestine’s official news agency WAFA reported that medical teams transported a critically injured person from the Al Fara camp to the hospital, where doctors later announced his death.
According to WAFA, clashes erupted inside the camp after special Israeli forces were discovered hiding in one of the buildings. The forces withdrew from the camp following a fivehour operation.
Later, witnesses told Anadolu that Israeli forces re-entered the camp about two hours after withdrawing from it. They reported that confrontations broke out between Palestinian gunmen and the Israeli army, with sounds of explosions heard.
The Israeli army surrounded the camp and brought in military reinforcements, the witnesses added.
Meanwhile, according to prisoners’ affairs groups, the Israeli army detained at least 30 Palestinians in fresh military raids in the occupied West Bank on late
Sunday and early Monday.
Meanwhile, in the Gaza Strip, at least 40 more Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks in the last 24 hours, pushing up the death toll to 37,124 since October 7, the Health Ministry said on Monday.
A ministry statement added that 84,712 others have so far been injured in the onslaught.
