Five Palestinian resistance fighters have been killed in the Israeli military raid into Nour Shams refugee camp, in Tulkarem.
One of the reported martyrs was the leader of the Tulkarem resistance brigade, Mohammed Jaber, known as Abu Shujaa.
Abu Shujaa was killed along with three other members of the brigade in a drone attack targeting a local house in the refugee camp after being besieged for more than 20 hours.
Earlier Friday, the young man, Salim Ghannam, was shot and killed by Israeli gunfire during the clashes that erupted during the Israeli military raid into the refugee camp.
Meanwhile, three Israeli soldiers have been injured while raiding Nour Shams refugee camp.
The soldiers were “lightly wounded” by shrapnel while exchanging fire with fighters there, according to Israeli sources.
The Israeli military has carried out near daily raids throughout the occupied West Bank since October 7, encountering some of its fiercest resistance in the Nour Shams camp.
The Israeli soldiers went into Nour Shams refugee camp late Thursday night, and on Friday morning.
In the two-day raid, they destroyed roads, buildings, shops, and houses, and tore up sewage lines, carrying out on-site interrogations.
Locals describe the military raid as the worst destruction of infrastructure they’ve seen in the West Bank since the destruction of the Jenin refugee camp during the second Intifada in the early 2000s.
