The drone strike in Tammun followed a raid on a home in the city of Tubas that killed one person.
The Israeli military has killed one Palestinian in a dawn raid in the occupied West Bank city of Tubas before launching an air attack on the nearby town of Tammun that killed four people.
The army entered Tubas at dawn on Wednesday and raided the home of Fayez Fawaz Abu Amer, shooting and killing the man, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa.
In a statement, the Israeli military said it launched a “counterterrorism operation”, during which it “eliminated one terrorist” and “hit others during an exchange of fire”.
It said its troops had “arrested wanted suspects and located and confiscated weapons”.
Reporting from Tubas, Al Jazeera’s Nida Ibrahim said the confrontations later extended to Tammun, southeast of Tubas, where a drone struck a group of men and killed four of them.
