An Israeli airstrike on a car in the West Bank city of Tubas has resulted in at least five Palestinian deaths and multiple injuries, according to local media and medical sources.

Israeli officials reported early Thursday that their military aircraft carried out "three different attacks" targeting Palestinian fighters deemed a threat to their forces in the Tubas area.

Palestinian medics confirmed that five people were killed and two others wounded in the strike, with one of the injured in critical condition. The Palestinian state news agency, Wafa, reported that the attack was executed by an armed drone, and the casualties were transported to Tubas Turkish Government Hospital by Palestine Red Crescent Society ambulance crews.

Reuters later updated the death toll to at least six. The strike occurred amid a larger Israeli military operation, including a raid on the Far’a refugee camp in the Tubas governorate, where explosions were reported by witnesses.
