Boy Rescued from Rubble After Gaza Strike

A Palestinian boy and his family were pulled out from underneath the rubble of a collapsed building following an Israeli strike on Gaza's Nuseirat camp, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

A large crowd of rescuers and helpers could be seen working through the night, using their bare hands and machinery to clear away concrete and rubble the family was buried under.

Mohammed Hamduna and his father were rescued alive, along with his sister who was severely wounded and remains in critical condition.

Hamduna's mother and other sister were also pulled out of the rubble, but both died in the strike.

Palestinians buried five men killed in an Israeli airstrike on the occupied West Bank city of Tubas which took place last week.

The Israeli military said the men were armed with explosives that posed a threat to Israeli forces and destroyed weapons production facilities as well as a vehicle rigged with explosives and a remote control.

Armed Palestinian faction Islamic Jihad confirmed the five men were members of the militant group.

Israeli forces have been conducting a series of operations in the northern West Bank for the past two weeks, with extended raids in Tubas, Jenin and Tulkarm. All three cities have a heavy presence of armed factions including Hamas, the Islamic Jihad and Fatah.

Violence has surged in the West Bank since the start of the war in Gaza, with almost daily sweeps by Israeli forces that have involved thousands of arrests and regular gun battles between security forces and Palestinian fighters.

More than 680 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct. 7 last year, including both fighters and unarmed civilians, according to the Palestinian health authorities.

In the same period, about 40 Israeli troops and civilians have been killed in attacks by Palestinians or in clashes with fighters, according to figures from Israel's domestic security agency.
