Israeli Forces Target West Bank ‘Terrorist Infrastructure’; Palestinian Child Among Dead
Israeli airstrikes in the West Bank’s Nur Shams refugee camp resulted in the deaths of two Palestinians on Thursday, including a child, according to a report from the Palestinian health ministry. The clashes come as Israeli forces intensify operations in the region, with the army describing its mission as an effort to dismantle “terrorist infrastructure” in the densely populated refugee camp.
In addition to the strikes in Nur Shams, the Palestinian health ministry reported another fatality in the Tulkarm refugee camp, where a Palestinian man was shot and killed by Israeli forces overnight.

Truth and understanding
The Media Line's intrepid correspondents are in Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Pakistan providing first-person reporting.
They all said they cover it.
We see it.
We report with just one agenda: the truth.
The official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported a significant presence of Israeli vehicles, including heavy military bulldozers, which stormed the city and moved toward the Nur Shams camp as part of the ongoing operation. Tensions intensified when Al Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, announced that it had detonated an explosive device targeting an Israeli military bulldozer in an attempt to block the army’s advance.
These latest operations and resulting fatalities are part of a recent surge in violence across the West Bank, where clashes between Israeli forces and local Palestinian groups have escalated. With both sides reporting casualties and injuries, the ongoing conflict has raised concerns about the stability of the region and the impact on the civilian population.
