Five Palestinian men were killed and two others injured, one critically, in an airstrike by an Israeli occupation drone targeting a vehicle in the city of Tubas on Wednesday, according to local health and Red Crescent officials.
Red Crescent emergency services confirmed that five bodies were retrieved from the bombed vehicle, while medical teams attempted to resuscitate a sixth injured individual. The Ministry of Health later confirmed the deaths and reported that the injured were transported to Tubas Turkish Governmental Hospital, with one person in critical condition.
The victims have been identified as Ahmed Fawaz Fayez Abu Dawas (24), Muhammad Awad Salem Abu Juma (30), Qusay Majdi Abdullah Abdul Razek (26), Muhammad Nazmi Abu Zagha (23), and Muhammad Zakaria Muhammad al-Zubaidi (21), the son of imprisoned Palestinian leader Zakaria al-Zubaidi.
The airstrike coincides with a broader Israeli military operation in the West Bank, particularly in the Far'a refugee camp south of Tubas. Earlier in the day, Israeli forces shot a young man in Far'a camp, reportedly preventing Red Crescent ambulances from reaching him after dragging him with a bulldozer. His condition remains unknown.
This latest violence is part of an ongoing Israeli military offensive across the West Bank, which began on August 28. According to Palestinian officials, the offensive has claimed the lives of 39 Palestinians in northern areas, including Jenin, Tulkarm, and Tubas. The death toll across the West Bank since October 7, 2023, now stands at 699. (ILKHA)
