Tulkarm Airstrike Kills Hamas Commander Planning Imminent Attack


(Times of Israel) Emanuel Fabian - An Israeli fighter jet struck the West Bank city of Tulkarm Thursday night, targeting Zahi Yaser Abd al-Razeq Oufi, a top Hamas commander, along with other Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives. Hamas confirmed Oufi was a commander and also named seven other members who were killed. The IDF said Oufi was planning a major terror attack on the first anniversary of the Oct. 7 onslaught and described him as a "ticking time bomb." Oufi planned and led an attempted car bombing attack near the community of Ateret last month. He also provided weapons to other terror operatives who carried out numerous attacks in the West Bank and in Israel recently. Another of those killed in the airstrike was Ghaith Radwan, a top commander in Islamic Jihad.
