At least seven people were killed during an Israeli military raid and airstrikes in the West Bank, the Palestinian health ministry says.
Five of the seven people were killed in two separate Israeli attacks in and near the city of Qabatiya, while the two others were killed in the Tammun area, the ministry says.
The Israeli military said its aircraft had targeted a group of gunmen and that its forces had arrested 60 terrorists.
The Islamic Jihad’s armed wing, Al-Quds Brigades, says its members had clashed with Israeli forces in both Qabatiya and the Tammun areas.
