Death toll from West Bank raid rises to three, Palestinians say
The Palestinian Authority health ministry raises the death toll from an Israeli raid in the northern West Bank from two to three, adding Ahmed Ghannam, 19, to the tally.
Palestinian accounts online share footage in which heavy gunfire can be heard. There is no verification that the fighting depicted took place at a hospital in Tubas where the injured from the raid were being brought.
