A Palestinian was killed and a number of Israeli occupation soldiers were injured in a shooting attack carried out on Tuesday morning near the village of Tayasir, east of Tubas, in the northern occupied West Bank.

Israeli media confirmed that the number of occupation soldiers injured in the shooting operation near the Tayasir checkpoint had risen to 8, including at least 2 in serious condition, 2 in moderate condition, and 4 in minor condition, amid military censorship on the publication of information related to this operation.

The perpetrator reached the military checkpoint near Tayasir, stormed a military site, opened fire at the soldiers and clashed with them, according to Israeli media.

Israeli media reported that the army sent large forces to the area, which is witnessing an Israeli military operation against resistance factions.

According to Channel 13 Israel, the shooting took place at a military checkpoint where a number of Israeli soldiers were gathered. The Israeli channel added that military aircraft transported two of the wounded in critical condition to receive treatment.

This armed operation comes at a time when the West Bank, including Tubas, is witnessing a broad Israeli military campaign, which has recently focused on storming cities and villages and besieging Tulkarm and Jenin.
