Israeli Soldiers Kill Five Palestinians in Occupied West Bank’s Tamoun

HeadlineMay 16, 2025

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli soldiers raided the Palestinian town of Tamoun Thursday, killing five men after laying siege to a home in the village center. One of the men apparently burned to death, according to Tamoun’s mayor. The deadly raid came after a pregnant Israeli from a nearby settlement was shot and killed. In response, Israel’s far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called for nearby Palestinian towns to be “flattened” just as Israel has destroyed cities in the Gaza Strip.
