Israeli military operations result in Palestinian casualties in West Bank and Gaza

On September 15, 2026, Israeli military operations in the West Bank and Gaza resulted in multiple Palestinian fatalities. In the West Bank city of Al-Bireh, 54-year-old Ziad Muhammad Jaber was killed during an army raid. According to his brother, soldiers blew open the doors to their home around 04:00, detained family members, and held them while searching the premises. The Israeli military stated they are investigating the incident.

In the Gaza Strip, separate Israeli airstrikes in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood killed at least two people, including a child, and injured seven others. Witnesses reported a secondary strike targeting individuals attempting to assist with rescues. This follows the previous day's deaths of Ahmed al-Batsh and Rafat Zoumar, both identified by the Israeli military as Hamas commanders, whose vehicles were hit in northern Gaza. The Israeli military confirmed these targeted operations, claiming to have neutralized the commanders. Local health officials and rescue services managed the casualties in both territories, while tensions remain high across the region.
