Five Palestinians killed in Israeli raid on Tulkarm

At least five Palestinians were killed in an Israeli raid that targeted the town of Zeita, north of Tulkarm in the West Bank, Palestinian medical and security sources said Saturday. 

Two Al Jazeera journalists were killed on June 31st in an Israeli strike in Gaza, the Qatar-based channel reported as war rages in the Palestinian territory between Israel and Hamas.

"Al Jazeera Arabic journalist Ismail al-Ghoul and his cameraman Rami al-Refee have been killed in an Israeli attack on the Gaza Strip," the network reported adding the strike "targeted a car near the Aidia area, west of Gaza City".

Since the start of the war in Gaza on October 7, Al Jazeera has aired continuous on-the-ground reporting on the effects of Israel's campaign.

The network's office in Gaza has already been bombed in the conflict and two other correspondents killed.

As many as 69% of Israelis support targeted assassinations even if they result in delaying a cease-fire and prisoner-hostage exchange deal with Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip, a new poll has found.

The survey was conducted by the Lazar Institute and published by the daily Maariv on Friday.

Only 19% of the respondents disagreed, while 12% had no definite opinion.

The survey sampled 510 Israelis with a margin of error of 4.4%.
