Three Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli air attack on a house in the Tulkarem refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, Al Jazeera quotes the Palestinian Ministry of Health as saying.

The attack came as the Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, said fighters from its Tulkarem Battalion clashed with Israeli soldiers in the camp and detonated explosive devices targeting military vehicles.

“Our fighters continue to clash with the occupation forces and we have achieved direct hits among them,” the Qassam Brigades said.

The Israeli military deployed snipers on roofs and sent in bulldozers to destroy infrastructure, Al Jazeera reported.
