RAMALLAH, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) -- A 22-year-old Palestinian man was killed on Thursday by Israeli army gunfire during an ongoing military operation in Tulkarm in the northern West Bank, according to Palestinian medical sources.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said in a statement that its workers had transferred the body of the victim from the Tulkarm camp to the hospital.
An Israeli drone bombed a site inside the Tulkarm refugee camp, according to local sources and eyewitnesses.
Israeli forces have been conducting a military operation for several hours in Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps in Tulkarm city, amid an exchange of fire with Palestinian gunmen.
Faisal Salama, coordinator of Palestinian forces and factions in Tulkarm, told Xinhua that Israeli forces are carrying out bulldozing operations and demolishing infrastructure.
The Israeli army has not commented on these developments.
The West Bank has seen escalating violence since Oct. 7, 2023, which has led to the killing of more than 770 Palestinians by Israeli shelling and bullets, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. ■
