ALBAWABA - Six Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire during a number of military raids across the West Bank, the Ministry of Health reported. 

In the West Bank city of Tulkarm, 5 Palestinians have been reportedly killed and a number of others injured, after Israeli forces bombed a house and gatherings of civilians. Local media reports said that Israeli forces allegedly sieged hospitals and attempted to kidnap the bodies of those who were killed during the raids. 

Meanwhile, the occupation forces imposed a siege on the Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital in the city of Tulkarm, which obstructed ambulances transferring the injured to receive treatment, WAFA reported.

Eyewitnesses also reported that the army chased the ambulances, obstructed their work, and prevented them from moving freely.

After storming the Tulkarm refugee camp from the West, the army deployed its snipers on the roofs of several buildings in the area, as an Israeli drone flew all over the city and its camp.

Tulkarm camp and its surrounding areas were declared military zones and a curfew was imposed, especially in Hanoun Square, Al-Rabay’ah, and Al-Balawneh area.

Another Palestinian was killed in an Israeli military raid in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, according to a local medical source. Israeli forces raided the town of Azzun east of Qalqilya and the Tulkarm and Dheisheh refugee camps early Wednesday.

According to the Health Ministry, at least 219 Palestinians have been killed and around 2,850 others injured by Israeli forces in the West Bank since October 7.
