Islamic Jihad claims shooting attack on Israeli forces in Tulkarem

The armed wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad says its fighters launched a shooting attack on Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank city of Tulkarem.

In a brief statement, the Tulkarem Brigade of the al-Quds Brigades said its fighters targeted “a newly established position belonging to the enemy forces and a command and control centre” near an Israeli settlement.

The group claimed “confirmed hits” following what it described as “intense bursts of direct gunfire” on Israeli troops.

Earlier, Israeli soldiers were seen firing during a separate raid in the town of Qabatiya, part of the army’s ongoing violent incursions across the occupied territory.
