Five people have been killed in an Israeli air strike in the northern West Bank. According to Palestinian reports, a drone fired several missiles at a group of people.

The Israeli army announced that it had bombed a control room belonging to Palestinian militants in the refugee district of Nur Shams. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, five people were killed in the attack.

Meanwhile, in the southern West Bank, an Israeli Arab was shot dead after Israeli settlers entered a Palestinian village. Reports on the exact course of events are contradictory. For example, it was said that the 40-year-old was shot by settlers. According to Israeli media, however, it was armed forces who fired the shots. Four Palestinians are said to have been injured in the incident.

Stones thrown at Israeli vehicles
The Israeli news website "ynet" reported that Palestinians had thrown stones at Israeli vehicles. Subsequently, Israeli civilians were also pelted with stones, the military said. "Israeli soldiers arrived at the scene and opened fire at the rioters." The reports of the civilian killed were being investigated.

The situation in the West Bank has worsened since the beginning of the war in the Gaza Strip. Israeli military operations, confrontations and its own attacks have occurred time and again. The West Bank was conquered by Israel in 1967. Today, three million Palestinians and around 700,000 Israeli settlers live there.
