Three Palestinians were killed in the occupied West Bank city of Tulkarem during an overnight Israeli military incursion. According to the Palestinian Health Ministry and an Israeli security representative, the Israel Defense Forces used live fire and killed three individuals who were allegedly involved in planting explosive devices in the area.
The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the victims as Ahmed Mubarak, 26, Hossam Imad Dabas, 22, and Muhammad Youssef Nasrallah, 27, stating that they were shot by 'occupation fire' in Tulkarem early Thursday morning.
Residents in Tulkarem reported that Israeli snipers were positioned on top of residential buildings during the incursion. The Israeli security source mentioned that Israeli troops also engaged with other suspects in the area, resulting in additional casualties and the apprehension of two wanted individuals.
Furthermore, eyewitnesses and social media footage indicated that the Israeli military conducted incursions in various cities and towns across the occupied West Bank, including Nablus, Tubas, Qalqilya, Bethlehem, and Burqeen south of Jenin.
This incident has once again highlighted the ongoing tensions and violence in the region, with both sides providing differing accounts of the events that transpired during the military operation in Tulkarem and other areas of the West Bank.
