Five Palestinians were killed and several others were injured in an Israeli drone attack that targeted a group of citizens near Al-Tawhid Mosque in Tubas at dawn Wednesday.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported in a statement that its crews were able to retrieve the bodies of the five martyrs from the bombing site and transfer them to the hospital.

The martyrs were identified as Muhammad Saeed Hussein Sawafta, 19, Majd Burhan Jamil Sawafta, 23, Qais Saeb Rateb Sawafta, 24, Yassin Ahmed Ali Sawafta, 22, and Talaba Mahmoud Jamil Basharat, 18.

Following the attack, the Israeli forces imposed a tight siege on the Tubas Turkish Governmental Hospital.

The bombing came as Israeli forces launched a large-scale aggression on the city amid a total curfew.

This military raid was accompanied by intensive flights of reconnaissance planes and helicopters at low altitudes over the governorate.
