The Israel Occupation Forces (IOF) announced today that a drone strike in Tulkarm city in the northern West Bank killed Hamas commander Ashraf Nafa, according to “Israel’s” Haaretz. 

The IOF stated that an “Israeli” aircraft targeted militants in Tulkarm, which led to an exchange of gunfire between “Israeli” soldiers and Palestinians in the area.

The IOF's statement highlighted that the strike was based on precise intelligence and resulted in the deaths of seven to nine Palestinians. 

During the raid, the IOF targeted a group of armed men by drone, as reported by the “Israeli” state-owned media outlet KAN.

However, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) reported that a Palestinian woman was among the casualties, and at least three other Palestinians were wounded. 

Residents stated that the IOF is holding the bodies of three of the deceased, and Palestinian media outlets released a video showing an IOF armored bulldozer transporting bodies.

In a separate clash, two young Palestinians were killed by IOF gunfire in the southern West Bank town of Sa’ir, according to a statement by the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
