Israeli military kills 3 including child in West Bank

RAMALLAH: Israeli strikes on the Nur Shams refugee camp in the West Bank on Thursday killed two Palestinians including a child, the Palestinian health ministry reported.

One Palestinian was shot and killed by the Israeli army overnight in West Bank’s refugee camp of Tulkarm, the health ministry added.

The Israeli army said on Thursday it is conducting an operation targeting “terrorist infrastructure” in Nur Shams.

Official Palestinian news agency WAFA said a large number of Israeli vehicles and heavy bulldozers stormed the city and headed towards the Nur Shams refugee camp.

Al Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian group Hamas, said in a statement they detonated a highly explosive bomb in a military bulldozer to thwart the Israeli army’s raid.
