Israeli forces have killed 10 people in the occupied West Bank as violence in the territory sees no let-up, AFP reports

Five people were killed inside Tulkarem refugee camp, the Palestinian health ministry said.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society and an official at the camp said Israeli strikes had killed multiple people.

“The camp is besieged by aircraft and heavy numbers of the Israeli army, and tanks,” Faisal Salama told AFP.

The Israeli military confirmed it carried out an air strike during the Tulkarem raid.

Explosions and gunfire were heard in the camp as thick smoke billowed into the sky and Israeli military vehicles patrolled the area, an AFP correspondent reported.
