The Israeli military has confirmed that a recent strike in the occupied West Bank resulted in the deaths of 10 individuals. The attack, which took place in the Tulkarem area, targeted militants affiliated with Hamas and Islamic Jihad. According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), a total of 12 militants were killed in the operation, marking one of the highest single-day casualty counts in the West Bank since last October.
The IDF stated that the strike was conducted to prevent an imminent attack against Israeli civilians and that the individuals killed were involved in activities related to making explosives or supporting terrorist actions. Among the casualties were Zahi Yaser Abd al-Razeq Oufi, the head of Hamas in Tulkarem, and Jit Radwan, a key operative of Islamic Jihad in the region.
