6 Palestinians Killed in West Bank in Israeli Raids

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The health ministry of Palestine said at least six Palestinians have been killed and many wounded in Israeli raids across occupied West Bank on Thursday night and Friday morning.

The Palestinian health ministry said the six people were killed in the deadly Israeli raid on the Far’a refugee camp.

Eyewitnesses told WAFA news agency that Israeli soldiers obstructed ambulances and prevented them from rescuing injured people for some time.

A reporter with the news agency said that Israeli soldiers infiltrated the camp early morning with snipers taking positions on rooftops of several buildings. Fighting between residents and Israeli soldiers followed, Al Jazeera reported.

The Israeli regime continues intense bombardment of the Gaza Strip, as health facilities and humanitarian aid efforts are crumbling due to intense fighting.

The UN Security Council is expected to discuss situation in Gaza on Friday as countries press for a ceasefire amid continued opposition from veto-holding US.

At least 17,177 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since October 7.

Hamas armed wing says Israeli soldier killed in thwarted rescue attempt

The armed wing of Hamas, the Qassam Brigades, says it thwarted a rescue attempt by Israeli forces this morning, which led to the death of a captured soldier.

The Qassam Brigades said it discovered Israeli forces trying to free one of its hostages, but it “clashed” with them, which led to the death of the captured soldier, Sa’ar Baruch.

“The military aircraft intervened and bombed the place with a series of raids to cover up the attack,” the brigade said.

They added that the attack led to the obtaining of an Israeli rifle and the special forces communication device.

Israeli military claim to have hit targets in Syria

The Israeli military announced that they had, overnight, struck what they described as an “armed terrorist cell” in the vicinity of the occupied Golan Heights.

They said they had also hit several targets in Syria in response to attacks on the occupied Golan Heights yesterday.

The Golan Heights is a 1,200 square kilometre (463 square miles) plateau in Syrian territory that was occupied by Israel in 1967 after capturing the area in the Six-Day War. It was annexed by Israel in 1981.
