The Israeli Army kills two Palestinians in Tulkarem (West Bank)

May 16. (EUROPA PRESS) –

At least two Palestinians have died this Thursday in a military operation by the Israeli Army in the West Bank city of Tulkarem, amid the increase in incursions by Israeli troops in the West Bank since the attacks carried out on October 7, 2023 by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) against Israeli territory.

The Ministry of Health, linked to the Palestinian Authority, has reported the balance of victims through a brief statement published on its Facebook profile and has added that the injured person is in serious condition.

The Palestinian news agency WAFA has identified the deceased as Muhammad Yusef Nasrallah and Hossam Imad Dabas, aged about 20. He has also indicated that several injured people have been taken to the city hospital.

Furthermore, he explained that there was a large military presence and soldiers were deployed in the streets and on the roofs of buildings, which is why the clashes broke out. The soldiers would have also searched a home and several money exchange stores.

The operations of the Israeli Army and the attacks by Israeli settlers in the West Bank and East Jerusalem have left more than 480 Palestinians dead since these types of actions have increased since last October 7, when the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) carried out an assault that left 1,200 dead and 240 hostages. Palestinian authorities in the Gaza Strip have since counted more than 35,200 deaths from Israeli attacks.
