Israel West Bank raids
The Israeli regime has killed five more Palestinians in pre-dawn aerial raids on the occupied West Bank city of Tubas. According to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, the missiles fired from a drone hit the vicinity of a mosque. The crews were able to retrieve the bodies of five people from the site. The Israeli military confirmed the attack on Tubas but did not provide details about the death toll. Since the beginning of the genocidal war on Gaza 11 months ago, Israeli forces and settlers have killed around 700 Palestinians and injured over 5,700 others in the West Bank. Israel also launched a large-scale offensive across the occupied territories late last month and continued for 10 days.

The majority of those killed and injured are women and children. Meanwhile, Israel announced the death of two more of its soldiers and injury of another seven in a military helicopter crash in Rafah, the south of the strip. Israel has so far confirmed the death of over 700 its troopers since the regime launched the war on the besieged territory.
