The Palestinian death toll from Israeli army raid in the northern West Bank city of Tulkarm has risen to eight on Tuesday, said the Palestinian Ministry of Health.



The ministry said Tuesday that four Palestinians were killed and five others injured, including one in critical condition, after an Israeli drone strike hit the al-Hamam neighborhood in the Tulkarm refugee camp.



The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said that its teams transferred to hospital the body of a young man killed by Israeli army in the Nur Shams refugee camp in Tulkarm.



Earlier, the ministry confirmed the deaths of Bara Ali, 30, and Khawla Abdu, 53, in an Israeli airstrike on Tulkarm camp, along with Fathi Ubeid, 18, who died from gunshot wounds to the abdomen and chest early in the morning.



Israeli forces have continued their operation since dawn on Tuesday in the Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps, bulldozing infrastructure and destroying several homes, according to Faisal Salama, coordinator of Palestinian factions in Tulkarm.
