At least four Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike in the West Bank overnight, Reuters reported, citing Palestinian health authorities, citing BTA.
The attack was carried out in the Noor Shams refugee camp in the northern part of the occupied Palestinian territory.
The Israeli army said that its aircraft struck a "terrorist cell" that planted an explosive device in the area.
On Sunday, a commander of the radical Palestinian group "Islamic Jihad" was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Nur Shams.
Tensions in the West Bank were high even before the outbreak of war in the Gaza Strip between Israel and "Hamas", but have escalated since the beginning of the conflict caused by the attack of the Palestinian Islamist movement against Israel nearly nine months ago.
More than 550 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank by Israeli soldiers or Jewish settlers since October 7, according to local authorities. On the Israeli side, at least 15 people, including soldiers, died, according to AFP.
