Israel has stated it killed “terror operatives” from Hamas and Islamic Jihad in an air strike on a mosque in the West Bank’s Jenin, AFP reports.

The strike hit the Al-Ansar mosque, which the Israeli military said “was used by the terrorists as a command centre to plan the attacks and as a base for their execution”.

The Israeli military said those targeted had already carried out “several terror attacks over the last months, and were organising an additional imminent terror attack”.

It said they were “neutralised”, without giving details on the number killed in the strike or their identities.
