Two children were among three Palestinians killed in an Israeli drone attack in the West Bank, Palestinian media reported on Wednesday.
The Israeli military only said that a “terrorist cell” near the town of Tamun had been attacked. A military spokesman separately said that reports of children killed were being investigated.
The Palestinian news agency WAFA reported the dead were children aged 9 and 10, as well as a 23-year-old.
The Palestinian Foreign Affairs Ministry in Ramallah accused Israel of committing a “heinous crime.”
The already tense situation in the West Bank has worsened significantly since the Hamas massacre in Israel more than a year ago and the subsequent Gaza war.
