Two Palestinians were killed in an Israeli drone strike in the occupied West Bank city of Tubas today, the Health Ministry said.

Witnesses said the deaths came from a strike targeting a car near the town of Aqaba in the northern West Bank.

Another Palestinian was injured in the attack.

The Israeli army confirmed the strike, saying it had targeted what it called an “armed cell” near Aqaba.

Israel has intensified its attacks on the West Bank as it continues its genocidal campaign in Gaza.

At least 803 Palestinians have been killed and over 6,450 others injured by Israeli occupation army fire in the occupied territory since October 2023, according to the Health Ministry.
