Israeli strike in the West Bank kills at least 10

An Israeli airstrike in the north of the West Bank has killed at least ten people late on January 29th, according to Palestinian health authorities, Asharq Al-Awsat reported.

The strike from a warplane targeted a Palestinian militant cell within the area based on intelligence, the Israeli military said.

Israel using a jet fighter to launch a strike on the village of Tamoun late on January 29th, is the latest intensification in its clampdown on Palestinian militants, within the occupied territory.

Tamoun residents said the airstrike hit a house within a busy neighbourhood. The Palestinian health ministry said that the death toll was expected to increase.

Prior to the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel of October 7th 2023, Israeli strikes in the West Bank were not frequent.
