Israel kills two Palestinians in airstrike on northern West Bank town

JENIN, January 24, 2025 (WAFA) – Israel Friday evening killed two Palestinians in an airstrike in Qabatiya, south of the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, according to WAFA correspondent.

She said that an Israeli army drone targeted a vehicle at the Damuni Mount in the town, killing two.

She added that the occupying forces barged their way into the town following the airstrike started to sweep the vicinity of the site, and deployed snipers at the rooftops of nearby houses.

During ensuing confrontations, the gun-toting soldiers interrogated several youths and forced the Zakarneh family out of their house before turning it into a military observation point.

Israel has been launching a massive raid on the Jenin city and refugee camp for the fourth consecutive day, killing 14 Palestinians and forcing 1,800 Palestinian residents to leave the refugee camp.

This comes as the occupation forces have tightened military measures across the occupied West Bank hours after the release of 90 Palestinian prisoners as part of the Gaza ceasefire went into effect, dismembering and isolating cities and governorates one from the other using military gates, barriers, and concrete blocks.

The Israeli military measures are in parallel with ongoing attacks by Israeli colonists across the West Bank to terrorize Palestinians and displace them from their lands to seize them and build illegal Jewish colonies that separate Palestinian communities.
