Four Palestinians have been killed in overnight airstrikes in the Nur Shams camp near the West Bank city of Tulkarem, the PA’s official Wafa news agency reports.
According to Hebrew-language media reports, the strikes were carried out after Israeli troops operating in the area were attacked with explosive devices. Channel 12 news says that some of those killed were wanted terrorists.
A number of other people were wounded, Wafa says.
In addition, Wafa reports that a man wounded in last week’s drone strike in Jenin has succumbed to his wounds.
That strike came as the IDF said it was operating in Jenin and the adjacent refugee camp to detain wanted Palestinians suspected of involvement in terror activities.
The strike targeted Palestinians who had hurled explosive devices toward Israel Defense Forces troops carrying out an arrest raid in the West Bank city of Jenin on Tuesday morning, according to the army and Palestinian officials.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
