Thu Feb 20 00:03:00 UTC 2025: ## Israeli Raid Kills Three Palestinians in West Bank

**JERUSALEM, February 20, 2025** – Three Palestinians were killed on Wednesday during an Israeli military raid in the al-Faraa refugee camp near Tubas in the occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian state news agency WAFA. The Israeli army claims the three were wanted terrorists involved in weapons trafficking, and that two others were detained. WAFA reports that Israeli forces fired bullets and shells at the Palestinians’ home.

This incident is the latest in a weeks-long Israeli offensive in the West Bank, which has resulted in the demolition of homes and vital infrastructure in refugee camps. Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been displaced since the operation began in Jenin on January 21st.

Israel launched this large-scale counter-terrorism operation following a ceasefire in its conflict with Hamas in Gaza. The Israeli government views the West Bank as part of a broader fight against Iranian-backed groups in the region.
