STORYLINE:
Israeli forces raided a Palestinian city in the occupied West Bank killing at least five people, including three militants, the Israeli military, Hamas and the Palestinian Health Ministry said on Tuesday.
The ministry said two women were among the dead.
The military said a drone struck militants in the area of the northern West Bank city of Tulkarem overnight, killing Ashraf Nafa, who the military called a local senior Hamas operative.
It said another alleged militant, Mohammed Awad, was also killed, and said both had been behind attacks on Israeli soldiers.
The Israeli statement did not mention the women.
Hamas identified Nafa as a member and said two other militants with the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, including Awad, were also killed.
For several years, the Israeli military has been carrying out near nightly raids in the West Bank that intensified when the war in Gaza erupted.
"They (the Israelis) want us to forget the struggle. They want us not to stand with the honorable (militant) brigades. They don’t want anyone to defend or resist. They want us to stay away (from the struggle) and be humiliated by them," said Ahmed Fawzi, a resident of Tulkarem refugee camp.
The Palestinian Health Ministry says more than 500 Palestinians have been killed in the ensuing violence, many of them in clashes with Israeli soldiers but others while throwing stones or protesting.
People not involved in confrontations have also been killed.
Palestinian attacks against Israelis have been on the rise in the West Bank.
