Three Palestinians have been martyred in the West Bank city of Tulkarm as Israeli occupation forces raided the city’s refugee camp.
Explosions rocked Tulkarm as occupation troops entered the refugee camp late Wednesday, prompting clashes with Palestinian resistance fighters, Palestinian media reported.
Palestinian Health Ministry said in a statement that three Palestinians were killed by an Israeli strike on a house in the city’s refugee camp.
An Israeli D9 bulldozer was set ablaze by an IED, and ambulances were dispatched to evacuate injured troops.

Hamas’s armed wing, Al-Qassam Brigades, said fighters from its Tulkarm Battalion clashed with Israeli soldiers in the camp and detonated explosive devices targeting military vehicles.
“Our fighters continue to clash with the occupation forces and we have achieved direct hits among them,” the Qassam Brigades said.
The clashes were renewed on Thursday, with Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of Hamas resistance movement, announcing that its fighters have been engaged in the ongoing clashes with occupation forces.
