The Governor of Tubas and the Northern Jordan Valley, Ahmed Al-Asaad, has condemned the ongoing military operations in the West Bank, labeling them as a major massacre against defenseless civilians. Al-Asaad's statements come amid a severe siege on Tubas, where Israeli forces have established heavy military presence and closed off checkpoints. The situation escalated following a significant operation in Al-Far'a camp, resulting in the deaths of two Palestinians and numerous injuries.
The governor highlighted the devastating impact of the occupation's actions, which have destroyed essential infrastructure, including sewage networks in Al-Far'a. He emphasized that the military invasion is affecting every aspect of daily life in the region. Furthermore, the occupation forces have obstructed ambulances and attacked medical personnel, leading to the implementation of a health emergency plan to manage the crisis effectively.
This military operation, described by Israeli media as the largest since Operation Defensive Shield in 2002, has resulted in the deaths of 17 individuals and injuries to 22 others across the targeted areas of Jenin, Tulkarm, and Tubas. The international community is watching closely as the situation unfolds, raising concerns about the humanitarian implications of such military actions.
