Israeli settlers kill a Palestinian man and injure six others in an attack on the West Bank village of Wadi Rahal.
An Israeli air attack on the Nur Shams refugee camp in the occupied West Bank has killed five Palestinians, including two teenagers.
Reporting from Ramallah, in the West Bank, Al Jazeera’s Nida Ibrahim said on Tuesday the strike occurred overnight, with Israeli forces reportedly targeting leaders of armed resistance groups in the camp.
Israeli attacks in the territory have skyrocketed since its war on Gaza began in October.
“Medical sources tell us they’ve received the bodies and body parts of five Palestinians who were killed in the Israeli air strike on the Nur Shams refugee camp,” Ibrahim said.
“Israeli forces have been looking to target Abu Shuja’a, who has been one of the leaders, if not the main leader, of the Tulkarem and the Nur Shams battalion in the refugee camp, and he has survived several assassination attempts,” she added.
