Death toll from Israeli bombing in West Bank rises to four

The death toll from Israeli air strikes in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday rose to four, Palestinian officials said.

"There is a martyr from the air strike whose body is torn to pieces," he told AFP.

The Palestinian health ministry in Ramallah confirmed earlier reports that two Palestinian men had been killed by Israeli forces in Tammun on Tuesday.

"The body of one of them, whose identity is still unknown, has been withheld by the army," the ministry said in a statement.
