At least five Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli air attack on a car in the occupied West Bank city of Tubas and Israeli forces shot dead a teenager in the Far’a refugee camp, according to the Wafa news agency.
Israel said on Thursday that military aircraft took part in “three different attacks” on Palestinian fighters who “posed a threat” to their forces in Tubas.
Wafa reported that Israeli soldiers fired several bullets at the 16-year-old, Majed Fida Abu Zeina, in Far’a, “abused him and prevented ambulance crews from reaching him”.
“Then they dragged him out of the camp using a military bulldozer,” the report said.
Earlier on Thursday, Palestinian medics reported that five people were killed in an air attack on a car and two people were injured, one of them critically, according to Wafa.
The Reuters news agency later reported that the number of those killed in the drone attack had risen to at least six, showing a graphic photo of six bodies loaded on top of each other on a truck.
