JAKARTA - The Israeli military carried out airstrikes against Palestinian militants in the occupied West Bank. Hamas said its fighters were involved in fierce clashes with Israeli forces in the city of Tubas in the region.

The official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported one person was killed in an attack in Tubas, while four others were killed in an Israeli drone strike in the nearby town of Tammun.

His party did not reveal their identities, but the residents of Tubas said the man who was killed there was a member of the Hamas Islamic group.

"As part of counterterrorism activities, aircraft attacked a number of armed terrorists in Tammun," the Israeli military said.

However, his party did not mention the number of victims.

Meanwhile, the Al-Qassam Brigade armed wing of Hamas said its militants were involved in fierce clashes with occupation forces in the city of Tubas, West Bank for hours.

Reuters journalists at the raid site in Tubas saw houses badly damaged, broken glass and bloodstains on the ground.

A young man said his family was sleeping in their homes when Israeli special forces stormed in and called his father.

"My father woke us up and he took his gun and there was a shootout," he said.

"Then they asked him to give up but my dad said he wouldn't give up and he prefers to be a martyr or run away. My mother and we started asking him to give up but he refused," he added.
