The Israeli military said its forces killed a Palestinian militant who belonged to Hamas’s armed wing during a raid on Saturday in the occupied West Bank city of Tulkarem.

In a joint statement, the Israeli military, police and domestic security agency Shin Bet said that they conducted a “counterterrorism operation in Tulkarem to eliminate Islam Odeh”, who they accused of planning “terror attacks”.

The statement said that during the operation, Odeh “opened fire at the security forces, who encircled him and returned fire”, killing him.

“The forces located weaponry, including compounds used to produce IEDs, in his vehicle”, they said.

Odeh had recently been “tasked with commanding the terrorist network in Tulkarem and had started to plan additional terror attacks”, after another Hamas militant, Zahi Oufi, was killed in an Israeli strike.

The Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, mourned the death of “commander and leader of the Qassam Brigades’s Tulkarem Battalion, Islam Jamil Odeh (from Tulkarem Camp)” in a statement on Saturday.

An AFP journalist who witnessed the scene saw Odeh shot in the stairway of the building Israeli forces besieged. Odeh was visible from the outside due to large holes caused by explosions in the building’s cinder block facade.

“God is the greatest,” Odeh could be heard yelling before shots were fired in his direction.

The Ramallah-based Palestinian health ministry said in a statement that it had been informed of the death of 29-year-old Odeh, “shot by occupation forces in the Salam neighbourhood of Tulkarem.”

In a statement published by the Palestinian Islamist movement, Hamas official Mahmud Mardawi “mourned the martyr Al-Qassam fighter Islam Odeh, who was killed after clashing with occupation forces that besieged him for hours in a house in Tulkarem camp.”

“The assassination policy will not bring security to (Israel), nor will it succeed in breaking our people’s resolve or their commitment to resistance.”

Violence in the West Bank has soared since Hamas’s unprecedented attack on Israel in October last year triggered war in the Gaza Strip.

Since the Gaza war began on October 7, 2023, Israeli troops or settlers have killed at least 744 Palestinians in the West Bank, according to the Ramallah-based health ministry.

Incredible moment hero bystander tackles Bondi Beach gunman and turns gun on him after mass shooting during Jewish party in Australia

A dramatic video has captured the moment a brave bystander disarmed one of the gunmen involved in the deadly Bondi Beach shooting on Sunday, December 14, preventing further bloodshed as chaos unfolded along the crowded shoreline.

The footage shows a man wearing a white T-shirt calmly approaching an armed attacker from behind as the suspect raises his weapon. In a swift move, the bystander grabs the gun, and after a brief struggle, successfully pulls it away from the shooter.

As the assailant falls to the ground, the civilian briefly points the weapon in his direction but does not fire. The gunman then staggers away, while the bystander places the firearm against a nearby tree before stepping back. Moments later, the camera pans to a second gunman, who appears visibly shaken by the sudden turn of events.

The courageous intervention came amid a violent attack in which two gunmen opened fire on beachgoers during a crowded evening at Bondi Beach. Gunshots echoed across the area, triggering panic as hundreds of people fled the sand and surrounding streets.

Police later confirmed that at least 10 people, including one of the attackers, were k!lled in the shooting. The second suspect was taken into custody. Authorities also said at least 12 others were injured, among them two police officers who were shot during the incident.

Witnesses told local media that the attackers exited a vehicle on Campbell Parade near the Bondi Pavilion at about 6:40pm before opening fire. Emergency responders rushed to the scene, with dozens of ambulances and helicopter paramedics deployed to assist victims. Paramedics treated multiple casualties on site, while others were transported to nearby hospitals.

One mother described scenes of terror as panic broke out while her daughters were at the beach with friends. Videos circulating online show large crowds running for safety as gunfire rang out.
