Four Palestinians Killed in Israeli Drone Strike in West Bank
Four Palestinians were killed on Tuesday in a drone strike during an Israeli raid on the West Bank city of Jenin and its refugee camp, the Palestinian health ministry and the Palestinian official news agency WAFA said.
One other person was injured in the attack on Al-Sibat neighborhood in the city of Jenin, WAFA reported. Jenin hospital director told the agency the Palestinians were directly targeted. Israeli forces are encircling three hospitals in the area, WAFA added.
Meanwhile, Duvdevan commando forces a building used by Hamas terrorists and found about 250 rockets, mortars and anti-tank missiles ready for use, among other weapons and military equipment. Later, Givati Brigade soldiers destroyed a weapons manufacturing facility and found hundreds of grenades, rockets and LAW anti-tank missiles. Additionally, the IDF stated that Naval forces identified and attacked a terrorist cell that fired toward forces in the Gaza Strip.
The group targeted the tanker with a rocket after the crew refused to respond to all warnings, Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sare’e said in a televised statement. He vowed that the Houthis would continue blocking ships heading to Israeli ports until Israel allows the entry of food and medical aid into the Gaza Strip – more than 1,000 miles from the Houthi seat of power in Sana’a.
The attack on the tanker STRINDA took place about 60 nautical miles (111km) north of the Bab al-Mandab Strait connecting the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden at about 2100 GMT, a U.S. official told Reuters. A second U.S. official said the STRINDA was able to move under its own power in the hours after the attack.
