5 Palestinians killed as Israel raids West Bank’s Tubas, medics say
Palestinian medics have said that five people were killed in a strike targeting a car in the occupied West Bank area of Tubas, as the Israeli military said it carried out raids, AFP reports.
“Five killed and (one) seriously wounded in a strike (on) a car in Tubas,” the Palestinian Red Crescent Society said in a statement.
The Israeli military said its aircraft “conducted three targeted strikes on armed terrorists” in the Tubas area.
A large number of Israeli troops stormed the Faraa refugee camp in Tubas governorate, where explosions were heard, eyewitnesses told AFP.
Israel launched a massive offensive across the northern West Bank on August 28, killing more than 30 Palestinians, including children, in the assault, the territory’s health ministry says. One Israeli soldier was killed in Jenin, where the majority of the Palestinian fatalities have taken place.
