Four Palestinian youths killed in israeli drone strike in Tulkarm camp

The incident has sparked outrage and renewed concerns about escalating violence in the occupied West Bank.

Witnesses reported that the drone attacked a group of youths, and the Palestinian Red Crescent transported the bodies of the victims to Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital in Tulkarm.

The identified victims include Ahmed Tariq Noman Faraj (18), Walid Ibrahim Muhammad Ghanem, Ahmed Moin Theeb Mahdawi (36), and Ahmed Musa Mutlaq Badawi. Israeli forces prevented ambulances from accessing the camp to evacuate the injured.

Since the early morning hours, Israeli occupation forces have intensified their aggression against Tulkarm city and its camp. Military forces, accompanied by bulldozers, stormed the city from various entrances, causing vandalism and destruction of property. Snipers were deployed on rooftops, and the occupation forces surrounded the targeted area.

Confrontations between local residents and Israeli soldiers ensued, with the latter firing live bullets and creating a tense situation. The occupation forces detained two ex-prisoners during house raids and caused damage to properties.

As a result of the ongoing aggression, the Directorate of Education in Tulkarm announced a postponement of school activities until 9 o'clock, contingent on the withdrawal of occupation forces from the area. (ILKHA)
