Five Palestinian men were killed and two wounded in an Israeli drone strike on a car in the city of Tubas, medics says.
Five Palestinians have been killed and two injured by an Israeli air attack on a car in the occupied West Bank city of Tubas, local media and medical workers report.
Israel said early on Thursday morning that military aircraft took part in “three different attacks” on Palestinian fighters who “posed a threat” to their forces in the Tubas region.
Palestinian medics reported that five people were killed in an Israeli air strike targeting a car and two people were injured, one of whom was critical, according to the Palestinian state news agency, Wafa.
According to Wafa, the attack was carried out by an armed drone, and Palestine Red Crescent Society ambulance crews brought the bodies of the five deceased men and two wounded people to the Tubas Turkish Government Hospital.
The killing of the five comes as a large force of Israeli troops stormed the Far’a refugee camp in the Tubas governorate, where explosions were heard, witnesses told the AFP news agency.
