Israeli Forces Kill 3 Palestinian Youths in Raid on Tulkarm Suburb
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Israeli forces conducted a violent raid on a suburb of the occupied West Bank city of Tulkarm, resulting in the killing of three Palestinian young men amid the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.
According to the Palestinian WAFA news agency, the victims were identified as Youssef Ali al-Khouli, Ahed Salman Musa, and Tariq Amjad Shaheen, aged 22, 23, and 24 respectively.
The attack occurred during a regime's special forces operation in the Aktaba suburb, accompanied by a significant Israeli troop presence.
Israeli forces opened fire on a parked vehicle in the neighborhood before surrounding a house and killing the three young men inside, the report detailed.
Following the attack, Israeli military vehicles ran over one of the victims, and the soldiers withdrew from the area.
Another Palestinian youth, Mahmoud Moti’ Slit, was arrested by the occupation forces during the raid after sustaining injuries.
Israeli forces prevented Red Crescent staff from accessing the area initially, only allowing entry after their withdrawal and intimidation tactics.
In response to the raid, Tulkarm's national and Islamic forces announced a comprehensive strike for Tuesday to mourn the martyrs.
The occupation regime has intensified its raids in the West Bank since October 7, coinciding with its military offensive against Gaza after the al-Aqsa Storm operation by the territory's resistance movements.
The escalation has led to the death of nearly 340 Palestinians across the occupied territories.
Meanwhile, the genocidal war in Gaza has resulted in the deaths of over 23,000 Palestinians, primarily women and children, with nearly 59,000 others injured.
