Five young men were killed in an Israeli drone bombing, at dawn on Wednesday, of a vehicle near Balata refugee camp, east of Nablus.

The Hebrew media reported on the assassination of the persecuted Abdullah Abu Shalal and a number of his cell members by bombing the vehicle in which they were traveling near Balata camp.

The Israeli army claims that the assassinated cell "was on its way to carry out an operation."

According to the Israeli army's account, the Israeli army tried to arrest him several times. Last August, the house of Abu Shalal, affiliated with the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, was bombed and destroyed in order to pressure him to surrender himself.

Security sources reported that a drone bombed a vehicle near the Barada Junction near Balata camp, causing it to explode and catch fire, preventing medical teams from reaching the place.

The killed are: the two brothers Saif and Yazan Al-Najmi, Muhammad Qatawi, and Abdullah Abu Shalal.
