The IDF carried out an airstrike against a group of Palestinian gunmen in the West Bank city of Tulkarem amid a counter-terrorism operation, military sources say.
Palestinian media report the strike, with images on social media showing at least two Palestinians wounded or killed next to a heavily damaged vehicle that was apparently hit.
IDF sources say the suspects were shooting and hurling explosive devices at troops operating in Tulkarem.
It marks the second airstrike in the West Bank within hours, after the head of a terror network and several more operatives were struck in the Balata camp near Nablus.
