Palestinian health officials say Israeli strikes in the occupied West Bank killed five people, including the son of a prominent jailed militant.
Israel has been carrying out large-scale raids in the territory over the past week that it says are aimed at dismantling militant groups and preventing attacks. The Palestinians fear a widening of the war in Gaza.
The strikes overnight in the northern West Bank town of Tubas killed five people, including Mohammed Zubeidi, the Palestinian Health Ministry said Thursday.
His father, Zakaria Zubeidi, was a well-known militant commander during the second Palestinian uprising in the early 2000s and took part in a rare jail break in 2021 before being arrested and returned to prison days later.
The Israeli military said it conducted three airstrikes in Tubas on militants who threatened its soldiers.
