Israel struck the occupied West Bank with a drone overnight during a raid in which Israeli forces said they were fired upon by a group of Palestinians.
At least three people were killed in the drone strike, Palestinian officials said.
It comes after Gaza’s health ministry said on Tuesday that more than 700 Palestinians were killed in Israeli air strikes over the last 24 hours, bringing the Palestinian death toll since 7 October to at least 5,791. The figures could not be independently verified.
The Israeli military said that it killed dozens of Hamas fighters overnight while hitting over 400 Hamas targets, but that it would take time to destroy the Islamist militant group whose deadly cross-border attack on 7 October stunned Israel.
The United Nations, United States and Canada appealed on Tuesday for a humanitarian pause in the Israel-Hamas war to allow safe deliveries of aid to civilians short of food, water, medicine and electricity in the besieged Gaza Strip.
