Israel said it had killed Muhammad Abdullah, the head of the Islamic Jihad's network in the Palestinian refugee camp of Nur Shams in the West Bank.

The Palestinian health ministry said on Friday that two people were killed in an Israeli strike on Nur Shams.

Abdullah, who Israel said had been involved in a number of attacks against its soldiers, was killed along with another "terrorist" in a strike near Tulkarm, the military and security agency said in a statement on Friday.

A spokesperson for Hamas' armed wing said on Saturday that a female Israeli hostage had been killed in an area of northern Gaza that had been struck by Israeli forces.

Earlier this week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel was offering a reward of $5 million to anybody who brings out a hostage held in Gaza.

"Anybody who brings out a hostage will find with us a secure way for them and their family to leave" Gaza, Netanyahu said in a video filmed inside the Palestinian territory, according to his office.

"We will also give them a reward of $5 million for each hostage."
