Palestinian health officials said Israeli forces killed a man during a two-day operation in the occupied West Bank area of Tulkarem, a day after violence in the territory left 10 dead, AFP reports.

Unrest in the West Bank has surged alongside the Israel-Hamas conflict in the Gaza Strip.

The latest fatality followed an air strike that killed five people on Wednesday in the Tulkarem refugee camp, which Israel’s military said targeted “terrorists”.

A 27-year-old man was shot dead in Nur Shams refugee camp on the edge of Tulkarem today, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society and health ministry said.
