Five Palestinian citizens, including a mother and her daughter, were martyred on Tuesday morning in an Israeli drone attack in Tulkarem refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, while two others were martyred in al-Khalil.
Local media sources said that an Israeli drone bombed a house in Tulkarem camp, killing three resistance commanders, including Ashraf Nafi from al-Qassam Brigades of Hamas and Mohamed Awad from al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades.
In addition to those martyrs, Red Crescent ambulance crews evacuated the bodies of a mother and her daughter, who were killed during the same drone attack.
A number of citizens were also injured by bullets during the Israeli military campaign in Tulkarem, including a young man with three bullets in his thigh, arm and abdomen.
Two young women also suffered shrapnel wounds and were rushed by ambulance crews to the Thabet Thabet Hospital.
Media sources reported that Israeli troops in more than 25 military vehicles, including bulldozers, stormed Tulkarem and its refugee camp, blocked their entrances and embarked on wreaking havoc on public and private property, including stores, cars and roads.
The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) also broke into and ransacked several homes in the vicinity of the camp and interrogated its residents.
The IOF bulldozers reportedly caused damage to water, electricity and internet infrastructure in Tulkarem City and its refugee camp.
Last night, the IOF laid siege to Tulkarem camp, deployed snipers around it, raided homes and interrogated members of families.
In al-Khalil, Israeli forces stormed Ras al-Aroud area in the south of Sa’ir town and opened fire at local youths during clashes with them, killing two of them and injuring others.
The martyrs were identified as Ramez al-Halayka and Jihad Shalalda.
The IOF reportedly stormed homes, and interrogated and assaulted local residents during its raid in Sa’ir town.
