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 commanders.
Reports said the victims 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.
It added that 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.
Media reports however said two women were killed in the attack.
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 last year.
Since then, more than 550 Palestinians have been reportedly killed in Israeli military operations, confrontations, or their own attacks in the West Bank.
