Shortly after an IDF drone strike in Tulkarem this morning, Israeli troops entered the West Bank city to carry out a counterterrorism operation, a military source says.

There are ongoing exchanges of fire between IDF troops and gunmen in the area.

Five Palestinians, including a local Hamas commander, were killed in the drone strike.
