IDF lures terrorists into the open during raid on Tulkarm and then attacks them from the air
The Palestinian Red Crescent condemned her actions, saying: “Her behavior has harmed all medical teams and she does not represent us. Israel will show the world that there was an armed woman among the rescue workers.”
In a video clip, the two commanders can be seen cheering and waving their weapons shortly before they were killed in a drone strike.
Since October 7, Israeli forces have intensified operations in refugee camps in the West Bank, which have become centers of terrorist activity. During Tuesday’s attack on Tulkarm, Israeli forces used deception to lure their targets into the open before attacking them from the air.
Israeli forces have carried out about 50 airstrikes on camps in the West Bank in recent months, targeting explosives manufacturing sites and IEDs. Tuesday’s attack also targeted such sites and IEDs on local roads.
“We are observing increased cooperation between Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza and their counterparts in the West Bank,” the Israeli military said in a statement. “Hamas is trying to foment violence in the West Bank by exporting its methods and pressuring local terrorist groups to carry out attacks.”
According to the Israeli military, 450 terrorists have been killed in the West Bank since the beginning of the Gaza war, 270 of them in the northern sector alone.
