Israel claims to have killed a Hamas leader in an attack on Tulkarem that caused 18 deaths
The Israeli Army claimed to have killed a leader of the Palestinian Hamas group in the attack it launched this Thursday against the Tulkerem refugee camp, in the occupied West Bank, in which at least 18 people died, according to figures from the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
The Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that Israeli planes bombed a cafeteria and that 18 people perished in the attack.
According to the Army, in the attack, launched in coordination with the Israeli national intelligence service (Shin Bet), the leader of Hamas in Tulkarem, identified as Zahi Yaser bdel Razaq Awfi, died.
Attack on Tulkarem refugee camp
The Israeli army simply reported in a statement that it had launched an attack in coordination with the National Intelligence Center (Shin Bet) and that it would subsequently offer more details.
The Palestinian agency said that a missile hit a popular cafe located in Al Hamam alley, in the Tulkarem refugee camp.
Attack in Tulkarem increases deaths in West Bank
In the last year, Israel has killed 720 Palestinians in the West Bank, including 160 minors, according to the Ministry of Health.
In Tulkarem alone, at least 94 Palestinians have died since January, including eight children aged 15 and 17, according to a follow-up by EFE.
Most have died from soldiers’ shots but more than thirty in air strikes, a tactic that Israel did not use in cities and refugee camps in the West Bank since the Second Intifada, two decades ago.
The offensive to Lebanon continues
The Israeli army launched 15 bombings this Thursday against targets of the Shiite Hezbollah militia in Beirut, including its historic center for the second time in a year of clashes, in attacks that have caused at least nine deaths, although the Lebanese authorities do not rule out more victims, while the clashes continue on the border between the two countries.
The Israeli army reported an airstrike against the intelligence headquarters of the Shiite group Hezbula in Beirut and also the office of its communication organ in the same city.
Deaths increase
According to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health, at least nine people were killed and fourteen were injured in the bombing, although it reported that they are analyzing the DNA remains found at the scene to determine the final death count.
The Lebanese National News Agency (ANN) reported that there were bombings in the Beirut area of Dahye, which targeted the neighborhoods of Haret Hreik, Burj al Barajna, Al Amirikan and Al Ghobeiry, while a building “completely collapsed” in the Muawad area.
He added that the attack destroyed a center of the Islamic Health Authority, an organization linked to Hezbullah that is responsible for offering health care and services, and in which “internationally prohibited phosphorus bombs” were used, he said.

María Corina Machado kidnapped and forced to record videos before being released, says opposition
The Venezuela Command, the campaign team of opposition leader Edmundo González Urrutia, denounced the “kidnapping” and subsequent release of political leader María Corina Machado after she led a protest in Caracas on the eve of the Venezuelan presidential inauguration.
In a post on X, the opposition team stated that the former lawmaker was “intercepted and knocked off the motorcycle she was traveling on” after leading a rally in the Chacao area of the Venezuelan capital.
“Gunshots were fired during the incident. She was forcibly detained. During her kidnapping, she was forced to record several videos, and then she was released,” the statement added, which was made public nearly two hours after Machado’s party, Vente Venezuela, reported that she had been “violently intercepted.”

Puerto Rico’s Governor Jenniffer González expressed her sorrow over Venezuela’s political crisis on Thursday and voiced her support for Venezuelan opposition leader Edmundo González Urrutia, just one day before President Nicolás Maduro is set to take office following the controversial July elections.
“I think it is sad that the Venezuelan people have to suffer the consequences of a dictator who came to power by deceiving the people. I recognize Edmundo González for his leadership,” the governor stated during a press conference, coinciding with a day of protests by Venezuela’s opposition.
“The Venezuelan community has my full support, and, as we have done in the past, we will maintain that line of communication with whatever we can collaborate on,” assured the Puerto Rican head of government.
González Urrutia is currently in the Dominican Republic, the last announced stop on his American tour, where he was accompanied by Dominican President Luis Abinader and former Latin American presidents from the Spain and Americas Democratic Initiative (Grupo Idea).
