The Israeli army announced that it killed today, Thursday “five terrorists hiding in a mosque” in Tulkarem, during the second day of “anti-terrorist operations” in several towns and refugee camps in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

Yesterday the army of Israel had pointed out that “neutralized” nine Palestinian fighters in his operations in Jenin, Tulkarem, Toumbas and the refugee camps located in these West Bank cities, where Palestinian armed groups fighting against Israel are particularly active.

In the occupied West Bank, the death toll from Israel’s biggest operation on the ground in decades rose to 12, with at least 22 wounded and 20 arrested, officials said.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on Israel to immediately end its operation in the occupied West Bank and strongly condemned the loss of life, including children.

The Palestinian Center for Human Rights, Al-Haq and the Al Mezan Center for Human Rights have warned of escalating violence in the occupied West Bank and the use of tactics by Israeli forces.

In a joint statement, the organizations called on the international community to “immediately intervene and implement countermeasures against Israel as required by international law.”

“Our organizations are warning of a further escalation of violence in the West Bank, using tactics that mirror those used in Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza, particularly attacks on hospitals and health care facilities and the use of excessive and indiscriminate force,” they said. .
