STORYLINE:
Mourners gathered on Wednesday in the West Bank city of Tulkarem to to mourn four Palestinians who were killed by an Israeli airstrike.
Palestinian health officials said the four men – aged between 20-25 years old – were killed in a refugee camp late Tuesday.
Israel’s military said an aircraft struck a group of militants who were planting explosives around Nur Shams, an urban refugee camp near the city of Tulkarem.
The camp has been a frequent target of the Israeli forces and is known as a militant stronghold.
Local news outlets published photos reportedly showing two of the men holding assault rifles and one wearing a combat vest, indicating they were militants.
No groups immediately claimed them as members, but one body was wrapped with the flag of the Islamic Jihad militant group during the funeral.
Israel has been operating in Nur Shams for the past week.
An Israeli soldier was killed by a roadside explosion in the camp on Monday, the military said.
Since the Israel-Hamas war, over 550 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire in the West Bank, with Israeli raids into Palestinian cities and towns driving up the death toll.
