At least nine Palestinians were killed on Saturday, 3 August 2023 in Israeli drone attacks targeting two vehicles in the northern occupied West Bank.
Local Palestinian sources reported that four Palestinians were killed in an Israeli bombing targeting a vehicle on the road between the town of Bal’a and the Iktaba suburb east of Tulkarm.
Earlier, an Israeli army drone morning targeted a Palestinian vehicle on the Zeita-Attil Road, northeast of the occupied West Bank city of Tulkarm, killing five Palestinians, sources added.
The charred bodies of five Palestinians were brought to the city’s Thabet Thabet Government Hospital, it added, quoting the hospital director.
Following the airstrike, Israeli occupation forces stormed and cordoned the scene off, blocking residents from approaching, Wafa added.
Tensions have been running high across the occupied West Bank, including Jerusalem, amid a deadly Israeli offensive that has killed nearly 40,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip since last Oct. 7.
In a landmark opinion, the International Court of Justice last month declared Israel’s decades-long occupation of Palestinian land “illegal” and demanded the evacuation of all existing settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
