Two boys, alongside an older relative, were killed in a drone strike in the town of Tamun, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported. It identified the boys as Rida Bisharat, 9, and Hamza Bisharat, 10.
The Palestinian Foreign Ministry called the attack that killed them a “heinous crime.” The Palestinian Health Ministry did not immediately confirm the deaths.
The Israel Defense Forces said it “struck a terrorist cell” in the area, and that following reports that children had been killed, “the incident is under review.”
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered an increase in military activity after the shootings “to ensure the security of the settlements and settlers” in the occupied West Bank after the attack on Israelis. The IDF said Tuesday it was “pursuing the terrorists” who carried out the attack, but it has not released information about any suspects.
The strike, in a period of sustained operations across the West Bank, was the second to hit Tamun in as many days.
The Palestinian Prisoners’ Society said in a statement that at least 45 Palestinians, including a child and two women, were arrested by Israeli forces in the West Bank between Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning.
The statement said the widespread campaign of arrests, which it described as collective punishment, took place across Hebron, Nablus, Tubas, Tulkarm, Ramallah and Jerusalem.
