  • 'Israel' 'polices' West Bank Palestinians with drone strikes, kills 3

Early on Sunday morning, two Palestinian youths were martyred and others critically injured in the Nour Shams refugee camp in Tulkarm, in the occupied West Bank, as Israeli occupation forces conducted a drone strike; additionally, another Palestinian was killed by Israeli forces in Jenin.

Coinciding with continuous raids on cities and towns of the West Bank, the Israeli occupation has escalated its oppressive actions by heavily employing drone strikes as a means of "policing" the region. 

Tulkarm and its refugee camp, which are near the separation line between the West Bank and Israeli occupation cities on the coast of Palestine, have seen a major share of the Israeli aggression, with dozens of Palestinians killed and injured, civilian infrastructure badly damaged, and hundreds arrested in multiple raids and incursions on the Palestinian governorate.

Sunday's drone strike on the Manshiyyah neighborhood in the Nour Shams camp led to the martyrdom of Mahmoud Samer Jaber, 22, while also severely wounding Gheith Yasser Shehadah, 25, according to Palestinian media outlets.

Soon after, medical sources at al-Razi Hospital in Jenin, which is 30 km away, announced the martyrdom of another Palestinian, Laith Abu al-Nemer, who had previously suffered a critical injury via shrapnel resulting from a drone-fired missile that targeted a group of youth in the al-Sharkiyah neighborhood.

In Nour Shams, Israeli occupation forces blocked first responders from reaching the site of the attack, as those targeted succumbed to their wounds. Such a tactic is recurrently and fiercely employed by Israeli occupation forces, particularly after October 7. 

The Palestinian Red Crescent confirmed that the occupation forces prevented ambulance crews and emergency teams from entering Nour Shams camp to reach a Palestinian who had suffered a serious head injury. The occupation's military also detained one of the ambulance's crewmembers. Israeli drones also targeted several homes in the neighborhood, as infantry forces detained several Palestinians.

Despite the intensity of the Israeli occupation's raids on Tulkarm, which usually include hundreds of forces and dozens of armored vehicles covered by drones flying overhead, the Palestinian Resistance continued to confront invading forces. So far, the raid, alongside other oppressive measures, has led to the martyrdom of 294 Palestinians in the West Bank since October 7.

Tulkarm resists 

Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades' Rapid Response Force, a group local to Tulkarm, announced, on Saturday overnight, that its members will continue to resist invading forces, confirming several ambushes targeting occupation forces in Tulkarm.

On Monday, the force said that its fighters are using improvised explosive devices (IEDs) to fend off the occupation's armored vehicles. The rapid growth of Resistance factions in West Bank cities such as Jenin and Tulkarm has triggered an Israeli frenzy, aiming to suppress any organized actions of Resistance from spreading across the West Bank.

Despite targeting and murdering several leaders of the Resistance in Jenin, Nablus, and Tulkarm since 2021, the organizations that these martyrs established, continue to produce exceptional operations, targeting Israeli occupation forces. These groups have derived the legitimacy to resist, from the Palestinian people, represented in political parties who today announced a general strike in the governate.
