Israeli military reports killing 5 Palestinian militants hiding in West Bank mosque

Israeli military sources say they killed five Palestinian militants hiding inside a mosque in the city of Tulkarm on the second day of a massive military operation, including hundreds of troops backed by armored vehicles, drones and helicopters. At least 10 Palestinians were killed in Wednesday’s fighting. The new incursion came a day after Israeli settlers killed a Palestinian man and wounded three others in Bethlehem.
