Palestinians examine the damage following an Israeli airstrike in the West Bank city of Tulkarem, October 4, 2024
THE Israelis wiped out a family of four, including two young children, in an air strike on a cafe in the occupied West Bank today.
The strike slammed into a three-storey building in the Tulkarem refugee camp late on Thursday, setting it on fire, destroying a popular cafe and killing at least 18 Palestinians, according to the territory’s Health Ministry.
It was the deadliest strike in the West Bank since Israel’s invasion of Gaza nearly a year ago.
