An Israeli airstrike in the occupied West Bank city of Tulkarm has resulted in the deaths of at least 18 people, including civilians, according to the Palestinian health ministry. The strike targeted a café in the Tulkarm refugee camp, where many were present. The Israeli military stated that the operation aimed to eliminate the local Hamas leader, Zahi Yaser Abd al-Razeq Oufi, along with other militants. This incident marks a continuation of escalating violence in the region, with over 700 Palestinians killed since Hamas's October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, intensifying Israeli military operations in response.
