The Palestinian Health Ministry reported that five Palestinians were gravely injured and transported to the Tulkarem Hospital after Israel bombed the al-Hammam neighborhood with drones for the second time.

The Zionist forces also killed three women, two of whom were identified as Yawla Ali Abdullah, 53, and Baraa Jaled Hussein Sheikh Ali, 30, who succumbed to injuries from the first drone strike, which occurred at dawn on Tuesday. The WAFA news agency reported that an Israeli airstrike left several people wounded, including a ten-year-old child.

Additionally, a young man identified as Fathi Said Salem Obaid, 18, claimed by Hamas as one of its militants, was the first to die after being shot in the chest and abdomen by Israeli soldiers. According to the Israeli army, six Hamas militants were killed either by gunfire or drone strikes.

Palestinian Red Crescent rescue teams reported early this morning that two Palestinians were critically wounded in the city of Tamoun, in the southern Tubas region, during a drone bombing by the Israeli army. They added that one of the victims was undergoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

The head of the Tamoun Municipal Council confirmed the death of Rayan Hussam Bani Odeh, a 17-year-old high school student, due to injuries sustained during a drone attack targeting a group of youths. Another person was also reported to have been “injured by shrapnel in the back” in Tulkarem, while a second individual was wounded in the Amari refugee camp near Ramallah.

Currently, the West Bank is experiencing its most significant wave of violence since the Second Intifada (2000–2005). So far this year, Israeli forces have killed at least 490 Palestinians, including 75 minors.

Tulkarem Governorate, with young people committed to maintaining armed resistance against the Israeli occupation, is the most intense flashpoint. This year alone, 136 Palestinians have been killed there by Israeli fire, followed by 133 in Jenin and over 50 in Nablus.
