The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that 10 Palestinians were martyred in an Israeli airstrike targeting the town of Tammun in Tubas Governorate, northern West Bank. The death toll is not yet final.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported on Wednesday evening that an Israeli strike hit a home in Tammun, south of Tubas.
The Israeli occupation forces confirmed the operation in a statement, claiming it targeted an "armed cell."
Hamas condemned the attack, stating in a press release that "the cowardly assassination operation in Tammun and the ongoing crimes of the occupation in the West Bank will not break our resistance nor intimidate our people."
The movement mourned the martyrs of Tammun and praised "the heroes of the Resistance in Tubas, Tulkarm, Jenin, and its refugee camps, who bravely confront the occupation."
Hamas called on Palestinians in the West Bank, al-Quds, and within the Green Line to escalate resistance "by all means" against Israeli forces, militias, and settlers.
Meanwhile, in Jenin and its refugee camp, the ongoing Israeli assault left dozens dead and wounded, with widespread arrests and forced evictions of families. More than 100 homes have been destroyed or burned inside the camp as systematic destruction of infrastructure continues. For the ninth consecutive day, Israeli forces have also prevented ambulance and civil defense crews from entering the area.
'Israel' declared war on West Bank
"The Israeli army will remain in Jenin after the conclusion of the military operation," Israeli Security Minister Israel Katz said.
Speaking from the Jenin refugee camp, Katz said that "Israel" has declared war on the West Bank, noting that after the "military operations destroy military infrastructure built in the Palestinians' refugee camps, our forces will remain in the [Jenin] camp."
The Jenin refugee camp "will not go back to what it once was," he claimed.
