A second airstrike near Tulkarem in the West Bank has resulted in the deaths of four individuals. The attack occurred on Thursday afternoon, follows a similar strike in the area earlier in the week, raising concerns about the intensifying conflict.
According to local sources, the second strike targeted a residential area on the outskirts of Tulkarem, a city situated in the northern part of the West Bank. Eyewitnesses report that the airstrike caused significant damage to nearby homes, leading to the casualties and injuring several others. The local emergency services have been working tirelessly to provide aid and evacuate those affected. The identities of the victims have not yet been disclosed, pending formal identification by local authorities. However, it has been confirmed that the individuals were civilians, adding to the growing list of non-combatant casualties in the region.
This latest incident comes amid ongoing hostilities between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants. The situation in the West Bank has been deteriorating, with frequent clashes and military actions reported. The escalation of violence has drawn international concern, with calls for restraint and renewed efforts towards peace negotiations.
The previous military actions have often been justified by the Israeli government as necessary measures to counter militant threats. On the other hand, Palestinian officials and various human rights organizations have condemned these strikes, highlighting the heavy toll on civilian lives.
