Israeli Drone Attack Kills Hamas Commander and Four Others in West Bank
Tragedy struck in the occupied West Bank city of Tulkarm as an Israeli drone targeted a vehicle, resulting in the death of at least five Palestinians, including a Hamas commander, Haitham Balidi. The bodies of the victims, burned beyond recognition, were brought to the Thabet Thabet Government Hospital in Tulkarm.
Locals reported that the Israeli drone fired two missiles at the car, causing it to erupt in flames and killing all five occupants instantly. Despite Israeli forces cordoning off the area, paramedics and residents managed to retrieve the bodies and transport them to the hospital.
Escalating violence in the West Bank and Gaza Strip has led to numerous casualties, with over 570 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces or settlers in the West Bank since the conflict began. Additionally, Israeli attacks in Gaza have claimed the lives of over 39,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, during the past ten months.
The cycle of violence continues, as Palestinians mourn the loss of their loved ones while facing ongoing attacks and raids from Israeli forces.
