On 3 October 2024, the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) conducted an airstrike on the Tulkarm Camp – a Palestinian refugee camp – in the West Bank. At least 20 people were killed, including 12 militants. It was the first Israeli strike in the area since 2002 during Operation Defensive Shield. Nour Odeh called it "the largest and deadliest air strike that we’ve seen in the occupied West Bank for over 20 years". The airstrike was a joint operation between the IDF and Shin Bet against Hamas.
