Israeli Forces Kill Hamas Leader Haitham Blidi

Several Palestinians were killed due to an Israeli drone strike on a vehicle near the town of Zita in the city of Tulkarm, northern West Bank, following the death of a volunteer medic who succumbed to critical injuries sustained days earlier during gunfire from occupation forces while they were storming the Balata refugee camp east of Nablus. Meanwhile, occupation forces continued their incursions and raids on cities and towns in the West Bank early Saturday morning. The Israeli army reported that its forces targeted an armed cell in Tulkarm, including Hamas leader Haitham Blidi.

According to the Palestinian news agency "Wafa," five martyrs resulted from the Israeli drone strike, while Al Jazeera's correspondent reported that occupation forces assaulted paramedics and prevented access to the scene of the vehicle strike. Palestinian platforms shared footage of the vehicle engulfed in flames, noting that the bodies of some victims were charred due to the Israeli drone strike on a car near the village of Attil, along with other footage showing occupation bulldozers destroying infrastructure during their incursion into Tulkarm city.
