In a recent Israeli military operation in Tulkarm, West Bank, three Palestinians were killed by a drone strike targeting a residential building, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) stated that the operation aimed at neutralizing armed threats, with reports indicating that at least one of the deceased was affiliated with Hamas. The ongoing violence in the West Bank has escalated since the onset of the Gaza conflict, with over 600 Palestinians reported killed in military operations since October 7. Clashes erupted as Israeli troops searched for explosives, which are often hidden by militant groups to ambush forces. Meanwhile, violence from Israeli settlers against Palestinians has surged, with recent attacks leading to additional casualties. Diplomatic efforts continue to seek a cease-fire as tensions in the region remain high, with fears of a broader conflict looming.
