“Six martyrs killed by the occupation (name given to Israel by Palestinian officials, editor’s note) and seriously injured were transported to the Thabet Thabet government hospital in Tulkarem,” the ministry said in a brief statement.
According to the official Palestinian Wafa agency, these six people were killed by Israeli airstrikes on the Nour Shams camp located near the town of Tulkarem, where Israeli soldiers were also deployed.
Questioned by AFP, the Israeli army did not immediately comment on this information.
More than 300 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank have been killed by soldiers, and in some cases by Israeli settlers, since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip on October 7, according to a tally by the Authority Palestinian.
