The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said Israeli strikes in the occupied West Bank killed five Palestinians, while the Israeli military claimed it hit a “terrorist cell,” AFP reports.
The five were killed “as a result of Israeli air strikes (on) a group of citizens in Tubas,” Red Crescent spokesman Ahmed Jibril told AFP, adding that the dead were “transferred to the Turkish government hospital in Tubas”.
According to the Red Crescent, the drone fire occurred near a mosque in the Tubas region around dawn.
The Israeli military, meanwhile, said its aircraft “struck an armed terrorist cell” during an operation in Tubas, but did not provide any toll.
