The IDF says it has identified at least seven terror operatives among the dead in last night’s fighter jet strike in the West Bank city of Tulkarem.
The strike had targeted a senior Hamas commander, Zahi Yaser Abd al-Razeq Oufi, who was planning an imminent attack, according to the military.
The Palestinian Authority health ministry reported 18 dead in the strike.
According to the IDF, at least seven are confirmed to be members of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror groups.
Among them is Ghaith Radwan, who the IDF says is a top commander in Islamic Jihad. Some Palestinian reports identified Radwan as a member of Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades.
