Two children and an adult were killed today in an Israeli airstrike in Tammun, in the Tubas region, in the northern West Bank, according to the Wafa news agency, citing Palestinian security sources.
The Palestinian Red Crescent confirmed the attack and said that Israeli authorities are preventing its ambulances from accessing the site, so there is no official data on the number of dead.
The Israeli army confirmed to the EFE news agency that it attacked “a terrorist cell” in that area and that it is investigating the reports of casualties, without giving further information.
The Foreign Ministry of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA), which governs small parts of the West Bank occupied by Israel, denounced the death of two children and an adult in that region, stressing that the attack is a “clear reproduction of the violations of the Israeli government” against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
According to Wafa, the two children, identified as Reda Ali Ahmed Basharat, 9, and Hamza Amar Ahmed Basharat, 10, were killed along with a 23-year-old man, identified as Adam Jair al Din Ahmed Basharat. The three bodies are being held by Israeli authorities.
According to the Palestinian news agency, the attack took place in a residential area of the city.
In the early hours of Tuesday, Israel killed two more people in a drone strike on Tammun. According to Israeli forces, they were two “armed terrorists”.
The occupied West Bank is experiencing its worst spiral of violence since the Second Intifada (2000-2005) and ended 2024 as one of the deadliest years in decades, with almost 500 deaths, including around 75 minors.
On the Israeli side, 40 people died, most of them in Palestinian attacks, including 16 uniformed soldiers and 24 civilians, ten of whom were settlers.
So far in 2025, the Israeli army has killed eight Palestinians, including three minors.
