The Palestinian health ministry has said two Palestinians were killed in an Israeli air strike in the occupied West Bank city of Tulkarem, AFP reports.

The Ramallah-based ministry said in a statement that two dead and three injured arrived at Tulkarem’s Governmental Hospital “following the occupation’s targeting of a vehicle in Nur Shams refugee camp”, adjacent to the city of Tulkarem.

Official Palestinian news agency Wafa identified the two killed as Ramez Damiri and Ihab Abu Atwi, both residents of the Nur Shams refugee camp.
