In a new massacre, 18 Palestinians were killed and several others were injured in an Israeli airstrike targeting Tulkarem camp in the northern occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced in a statement that 18 Palestinians were confirmed to be killed in an Israeli raid on a popular café in Tulkarem camp.
Civil defence and ambulance vehicles rushed to the scene and transferred the casualties to the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital in Tulkarem city.
Later, the Israeli occupation forces stormed Anabta towm, east of Tulkarem, from the Anab military checkpoint to the east, and carried out large-scale raid campaign in the streets and neighbourhoods, specifically the main street, the southern mountain, the surroundings of the park, the municipality, the northern cemetery, schools street, the plain road, and the Shamiya neighbourhood.
This occurred in the midst of the Israeli army’s and settlers’ massive escalation in the West Bank, which coincided with the occupation army’s genocide in the Gaza Strip, which began on October 7, 2023.
723 Palestinians were killed, including 160 children, and more than 6,200 others were injured during the same reported period, while more than 11,000 Palestinians got arrested.
In Gaza, the Israeli occupation continues its war of genocide with full US support, which killed and injured more than 138,000 Palestinians, most of whom are children and women. More than 10,000 people also remain under the rubble amid widespread destruction and a worsening famine that has claimed the lives of dozens of children.
