On 3 October 2024, the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) conducted an airstrike on the Tulkarm Camp – a Palestinian refugee camp – in the West Bank. At least 20 people were killed, including 12 militants.[1] It was the first Israeli strike in the area since 2002 during Operation Defensive Shield.[1] Nour Odeh called it "the largest and deadliest air strike that we’ve seen in the occupied West Bank for over 20 years".[2] The airstrike was a joint operation between the IDF and Shin Bet against Hamas.[3]
