Israeli Airstrikes Kill 6 in West Bank

At least six Palestinians were killed and three wounded in the Israeli bombing of a vehicle in Tubas, West Bank, The Palestinian Ministry of Health and the Red Crescent reported.

‮‬Israeli Air Force aircraft conducted three targeted strikes on armed terrorists in the area of Tubas in the northern Jordan Valley‮‬ that posed a threat to soldiers, the Israeli army said in a statement.

Israel said that military aircraft took part in “three different attacks” on Palestinian fighters who “posed a threat” to their forces in Tubas.

Israeli soldiers fired several bullets at the 16-year-old, Majed Fida Abu Zeina, in Far’a, “abused him and prevented ambulance crews from reaching him”.

“Then they dragged him out of the camp using a military bulldozer,” the report said.

Palestinian medics reported that five people were killed in an air attack on a car and two people were injured, one of them critically.

Palestinians inspected damage caused by Israeli bulldozers in the city center of Tulkarm, during a widespread Israeli military operation in the occupied West Bank.

Video showed Israeli bulldozers tearing up the road's surface in the center of the city. Soon after, a man carrying a Palestinian flag climbed on top of the mound of dirt that was once the town square.

Israeli forces killed three people including a 16-year-old Palestinian girl in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Red Crescent said.

Both Hamas and Islamic Jihad said fighters exchanged fire with Israeli forces in Jenin and Tulkarm, which have seen repeated clashes between Israeli troops and armed Palestinian fighters over recent months.

The operation has caused severe damage to infrastructure as armored bulldozers have torn up large stretches of city streets, in what the army says is a search for roadside bombs, and destroyed or severely damaged houses and other buildings.
