A house in the Tulkarem refugee camp in the occupied West Bank was targeted by the Israeli airstrike that killed three Palestinians, said the Palestinian Ministry of Health. The skirmish was taking place as Israeli troops and fighters from Hamas’s military wing, the Qassam Brigades, said they set off explosives to attack military vehicles.
As a result of the fighting, the Israelis brought in sharpshooters and daggers to level the camp’s structures. The Quds News Network posted a video depicting fires after the military ground attack. The Israeli military says the strike, which was carried out early on Tuesday, was part of an operation to hit militants and look for explosives buried in the area.
The operation took eight hours, during which many buildings were brought down, and at least one Israeli soldier was injured. At the same time, the Israeli forces stormed different towns in the West Bank to arrest 25 people, among them two teenage boys.
The violent raids” said the human rights groups condemning the action as having caused intimidation and destruction of property. At least 12 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since Israel launched its operation in Gaza.
