“Armed forces killed five terrorists who were hiding in a mosque” in Tulkarem in gunfire, the army said.
As recently as Wednesday, the Israeli army reported that nine militants were killed in an operation in the West Bank.
The Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Health reports 12 deaths since the operation began.
Witnesses told the AFP news agency that Israeli forces had withdrawn from the Al Farra refugee camp in Tubas, where several Palestinians were killed on Wednesday.
An AFP photographer reports that clashes are still taking place in Jenin, and he also saw a drone flying over.
Israeli soldiers continued the operation in Tulkarem as well, reports another AFP journalist.
Since the October 7 massacre by the Palestinian terrorist group “Hamas” in the south of Israel, which triggered the war in the Gaza Strip, violence has flared up in the West Bank – the Palestinian territories occupied by Israel in 1967.
At least 637 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli troops or settlers in the West Bank since the Gaza war began, according to the UN.
According to official Israeli data, at least 19 Israelis, including soldiers, have been killed in the West Bank in Palestinian attacks or during army operations.
