News - Middle East: An Israeli settler has been killed in an alleged stabbing attack in Herzliya in northern Tel Aviv, with the occupying regime’s media reporting the apprehension of a Palestinian youth.

Local reports claimed on Friday that the assailant who stabbed and killed the Israeli settler, a woman in her 80s, in Herzliya was a 28-year-old Palestinian from the occupied West Bank.

The woman was stabbed multiple times and her death was declared upon arrival at the Tel Aviv hospital.

The Palestinian was shot on the scene and arrested by police, with reports falling short of providing any details on his condition.

The Israeli-occupied territories have been on high alert since the regime launched a genocidal war on Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023.

The brutal aggression has so far claimed the lives of more than 45,000 people and wounded upwards of 107,000 others, most of them women and children, in an incomplete toll as thousands of missing persons are still under the rubble.

The southern Gaza Strip has been almost razed to the ground and most its 2.3 million people have since been displaced, with humanitarian conditions being miserably in tatters.

Bombing attack kills Israeli forces in Jabalia

In another development on Friday, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, said one of its fighters had detonated himself with an explosive belt that targeted five soldiers in Tel al-Zaatar neighborhood of Jabalia refugee camp, northern Gaza Strip.

“In a complex operation, one of the Qassam fighters managed to blow himself up with an explosive belt in a Zionist force of 5 soldiers, killing and wounding them,” the brigades said in a statement.

“As soon as the rescue forces advanced to the scene, our fighters sniped two of them and showered them with a number of Zionist-made hand grenades in the Tal al-Zaatar area east of al-Jabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip.”

Earlier on Friday, Israeli forces raided Kamal Adwan hospital in northern Gaza, hours after airstrikes on a nearby building killed 53 people, including medical staff.
