Tragedy struck on Saturday in the occupied West Bank as five Palestinians fell victim to an Israeli drone attack targeting a vehicle near Tulkarm, according to Palestinian media reports.
The Israeli army confirmed the attack, but details were scarce. Among the deceased was Haitham Bleidi, a prominent figure in the Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, as per sources.
Israeli forces cordoned off the area following the airstrike, blocking access for residents. The incident adds to the toll of Palestinian casualties in the West Bank and Gaza, with hundreds killed and thousands injured during recent conflicts.
