Five civilians, including two minors, were killed and others were injured last night in an Israeli shelling of the Nur Shams camp, east of Tulkarem in the West Bank, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

The Ministry confirmed that the five Palestinians, who were killed in the occupation’s bombing of the Nur Shams camp, were brought to the Tulkarm Governmental Hospital.

WAFA reported that four loud explosions were heard in the city of Tulkarem, its suburbs and its camps, following an Israeli drone shelling that targeted a house in the al-Manshiya neighborhood in the Nur Shams camp, resulting in the killing of five people, including two teenagers.

They were identified as Mohannad Qarawi, 19, Jibril Ghassan Jibril from Qalqiliya, 20, Adnan Jaber, 15, Mohammed Ali Yusif, 49, and Mohammed Ahmad ‘Elayyan, 16.

The killing of the five citizens brings the number of Palestinians killed in the West Bank, including occupied Al-Quds (Jerusalem), since October 7, 2023, to 650, including 147 children.

The Palestinian factions in Tulkarem said a general strike will be observed in the governorate on Tuesday to mourn the martyrs.
