At least five Palestinians were killed on Sunday in an Israeli attack on Tulkarm in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian health ministry said.
Two were shot dead by Israeli forces on Sunday, the ministry had said.
Another Palestinian has also died on Sunday from injuries sustained after an Israeli attack in the West Bank city of Jenin a few days ago, the Palestinian health ministry said.
The Israeli military says it has been stepping up operations against Palestinian militant groups in the West Bank. On Thursday, Israel confirmed killing "more than 10" people in raids in Jenin.

Israel said its troops arrested on Wednesday four Hezbollah operatives, including a local commander, when they entered what it described as a restricted area in southern Lebanon.

The two sides entered into a ceasefire early Wednesday that appears to be holding, but Israel has said it will strike the group in response to any violations.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office announced the arrests in a statement. There was no immediate comment from Hezbollah.

The statement said Israeli troops have been ordered to prevent people from returning to villages near the border, where the forces are still deployed.

The ceasefire agreement gives Israel and Hezbollah fighters 60 days to withdraw from areas of southern Lebanon near the border. Thousands of Lebanese troops and UN peacekeepers will patrol the area, and an international committee will monitor compliance.
