Israeli forces have killed four Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian health ministry reports, as deadly violence has surged there since the start of the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Three Palestinians were killed and a fourth injured by Israeli army fire in Tulkarem, in the northwest of the West Bank, the ministry said.
Witnesses in Tulkarem told AFP that the three men killed were armed and in a car when they were intercepted by undercover Israeli agents.
The agents “shot at them in a street in the north of the city and the three men died”, one of the witnesses said on condition of anonymity.
