Israeli forces killed at least 20 Palestinians on Thursday after bombing a coffee shop in the occupied West Bank city of Tulkarm using fighter jets, in the first such attack since the Second Intifada.
At least one missile hit a busy cafe in the al-Hamam neighborhood in the crowded Tulkarm refugee camp late at night as citizens gathered there, local sources reported.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health said 18 Palestinians were killed in the attack in an initial estimate.

For the 237th consecutive day, Israeli occupation forces continue to violate the fragile ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip.
They are committing further attacks and violations across the besieged territory since the ceasefire that was signed on 10 October, 2025.
Since dawn, Wednesday, the Israeli occupation forces committed 10 new violations of the so-called “Gaza truce,” including artillery shelling, gunfire, and the demolition of homes and civilian infrastructure, particularly in the eastern areas of Khan Younis.
Eight demolition operations targeting civilian homes were carried out in that area as Khan Younis lies in the southern Gaza Strip. The occupation forces also shelled these areas multiple times.

Israeli military vehicles fired heavily towards the eastern part of Khan Younis, coinciding with gunfire from Israeli warships in the sea off the city, in the southern Gaza Strip.
The occupation forces also targeted the eastern part of Gaza City with artillery fire. Meanwhile, a correspondent for Sanad News Agency said that gunfire and artillery shelling from occupation vehicles, coinciding with the dropping of bombs from “quadcopter” warplanes, targeted the homes of residents east of the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, east of Gaza City.
