Israeli forces killed a Palestinian man in a dawn raid on Tuesday on a refugee camp near the city of Tulkarm in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, Palestinian and Israeli officials said.
The Israeli military said the man was killed in a "counter-terrorism" operation that resulted in 18 arrests, while the official Palestinian news agency WAFA said Fathi Saeed Odeh Salem died after snipers shot him and fired on ambulance crew.
Hundreds of Palestinians and dozens of Israelis have been killed in the West Bank since the Oct. 7, 2023 attack by Hamas militants on southern Israel triggered the current war in Gaza and a wider conflict on several fronts.
WAFA said Israeli bulldozers demolished infrastructure in the camp, including homes, shops, part of the walls of Al-Salam mosque, which they barricaded off, and part of the camp's water network.

Hezbollah party has reportedly chosen a location for the burial of its late Secretary-General, Hassan Nasrallah, sources told Asharq Al-Awsat on Wednesday.
Nasrallah - killed in an Israeli strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs on September 27- will be buried in a “plot of land located on the old road leading to the Rafik Hariri International Airport, with plans to turn it into a shrine”, said the sources who spoke on condition of anonymity.
“Preparations are underway for the funeral of Nasrallah and the party's Executive Council Chairman, Hashem Safieddine, in a joint public ceremony,” they added, noting that Safieddine will be buried in his hometown of Deir Qanoun in the Tyre district as per his wishes.
Nasrallah led Hezbollah through decades of conflict with Israel, overseeing its transformation from an armed group into a political force that – backed by Iran – dominated Lebanese politics.
Separately, the sources addressed the issue of the exploding pagers, stating that "investigations are ongoing until those responsible for this breach are identified".
