Pointing to high number of civilian casualties, Germany pans ‘shocking’ IDF strike in West Bank

Germany says an Israeli airstrike on the Palestinian city of Tulkarem in the West Bank, which killed at least 18 people, was “shocking.”

“The high number of civilian casualties in an Israeli airstrike in Tulkarem is shocking. In the fight against terror, the Israeli army is obliged to protect civilians in the West Bank,” the German foreign ministry says on X.

Israel is said to have targeted a Hamas commander planning an October 7 anniversary attack. Seven members of terror groups have been identified among the victims, which also included a brother and sister, aged 7 and 8.
