At least five Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli drone attack in the Tulkarm area of the West Bank.
Among the dead were three militant fighters, two of whom were senior members of the armed wings of Hamas and the al-Aqsa Brigades of Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas’s Fatah organisation.
The Israeli army confirmed that a drone had targeted armed terrorists in Tulkarm. Gun battles also occurred in the city between soldiers and armed residents.
The Palestinian Red Crescent emergency service reported that a woman was killed and three others injured in the incident.
The situation in the West Bank has significantly worsened since the onset of the Gaza War following the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
