Israel kills two children in air strike in occupied West Bank

Israel has killed three Palestinians, including two children, in an air strike in the occupied West Bank town of Tammun on Wednesday.

Palestinian sources said the three victims of the attack near the city of Tubas in the north of the occupied territory were cousins.

They were named locally as 24-year-old Adam Bisharat, as well as Hamza Bisharat aged 10 and Reda, eight.

Two air strikes in Tammun within the past 24 hours have left five Palestinians dead.

Israeli media outlets said the attack, which targeted the yard outside the victims’ family, had “liquidated an armed Palestinian cell”.
