At least 18 people have been killed in an Israeli air attack on the Tulkarem refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said.
The Israeli military said that its fighter jets had carried out the attack on Thursday in coordination with Israel’s internal security service, the Shin Bet.
The army said in a later statement that it had targeted the head of Hamas’s infrastructure in Tulkarem.
The Palestinian group did not immediately comment on the Israeli military’s claim.
A camp official, Faisal Salama, told the AFP news agency that the strike had been carried out with an F-16 fighter.
