For the second day in a row, the Israeli occupation continues its aggression in Tulkarm, targeting homes and shops, bulldozing lands and streets, and forcing citizens to leave their homes.

However, the aggression is being countered by the Palestinian Resistance factions in the West Bank as they continue to defend their people, houses, and land. 

The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades - Tulkarm announced that its fighters, along with al-Qassam and al-Quds fighters, set several ambushes to hinder the Israeli occupation forces trying to infiltrate the camp from several axes.

The battalions confirmed that the fighters showered the Israeli forces with heavy barrages of bullets, achieving direct injuries.

Two Palestinians martyred in Tulkarm bombing, including Hamas leader

On Monday, two Palestinians were martyred, including Ihab Abu Atiwi, the commander of the al-Qassam Brigades in the Tulkarm Refugee Camp, following an Israeli airstrike that targeted their vehicle in the Nur Shams Refugee Camp. Three others were injured in the attack.

In a statement, Hamas condemned the assassination as a "desperate attempt to eliminate the resistance." The group emphasized that this targeted killing reflects the continued crimes and massacres of the Israeli occupation, aiming to suppress the resistance that continues to strike fear into the hearts of the occupation forces with its operations.

Hamas mourned the loss of Ihab Abu Atiwi and fellow fighter Ramez Dumeiri, asserting that their blood would not be in vain. The movement vowed that their sacrifices would fuel the escalation of resistance efforts and ongoing heroic operations.
