The Israeli military said on Thursday that an air strike killed four militants in the Jenin area of the occupied West Bank. Jenin is a bastion of Palestinian militant groups fighting Israel, and has been a focus of large-scale Israeli military raids launched in late August that the Palestinian health ministry says have killed dozens.

Israel Defense Forces conducted a West Bank airstrike around dawn Wednesday that killed five Palestinians, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.

Five Palestinians, aged 18-24, killed in an Israeli airstrike near Tubas amid escalating violence in the West Bank.
