Israeli forces kill two Palestinians in West Bank’s Tulkarm

Israeli forces killed two Palestinians, a man and a woman, during a raid in the city of Tulkarm, in the northern occupied West Bank, the Palestinian health ministry said.

Israeli forces opened fire as they raided the city, wounding eight Palestinians.

Israeli forces also surrounded and stormed the Palestine Red Crescent Society emergency centre in the city, ordering paramedics and other crew members to leave, the PRCS said on X.

Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that the army also raided al-Awda, a youth rehabilitation centre in the Tulkarm refugee camp, detained six staff members and deployed snipers at windows.

The Israeli military said in a statement that the raid is part of its ongoing large-scale military operation in the West Bank, which has seen several cities and towns raided in recent weeks.
