Israeli Raids Escalate in West Bank and Gaza

Israeli forces killed five members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad during a raid in Tamun, West Bank, following a deadly shooting of a pregnant Israeli settler and amid calls for strong retaliation from Israeli leaders. The Duvdevan unit exchanged gunfire with militants barricaded in a house, detained one suspect, and seized weapons. A concurrent raid in Tubas led to the arrest of two prominent terror operatives and seizure of more weapons and explosives. In Gaza, the IDF reported killing a Hamas fundraiser and conducted extensive airstrikes, targeting over 130 alleged terror sites and resulting in at least 115 Palestinian deaths, though civilian-combatant distinctions remain unclear. These operations coincide with ongoing indirect ceasefire talks and Israeli preparations for a potential major offensive in Gaza if negotiations fail. The developments reflect a significant escalation of violence and military activity across both the West Bank and Gaza.
