Reports from the Palestinian health ministry revealed that at least 18 people lost their lives due to an Israeli strike on the Tulkarm refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. The Israeli army confirmed the strike, attributing it to a joint operation by the Shin Bet internal security service and the air force. The bombing targeted the al-Hamam neighborhood in Tulkarm camp, causing significant destruction. Palestinian officials condemned the attack, with the Palestinian Authority holding the occupation government responsible for the consequences.
The strike signifies the increasing intensity of Israel’s assaults in the occupied West Bank, marking the first missile bombing in the Tulkarm refugee camp since the early 2000s. Israel has ramped up its attacks in the region following recent events, resulting in a significant number of Palestinian casualties. The continuous offensives have caught the attention of the United Nations human rights chief, highlighting the unprecedented scale of the violence.
As Israel’s military actions extend to Lebanon and Gaza, the conflict shows no signs of abating, with civilian casualties mounting. The situation remains tense as both sides continue to engage in deadly confrontations.
