The Palestinian Health Ministry said Thursday three people have been killed in an Israeli strike on a home in the occupied West Bank.
It said the apparent strike was carried out overnight into Thursday in the Tulkarem refugee camp. It did not say whether those killed were fighters or civilians.
The Israeli military said aircraft struck “several militants” in Tulkarem as ground forces searched for buried explosives in an operation that was still ongoing.
The West Bank has seen a surge of violence since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack out of Gaza ignited the war there. Israeli forces carry out near-daily raids in the West Bank that often ignite gunbattles with Palestinians.
