The Israeli military has killed the head of the Palestinian armed group Hamas in Jenin, Wissam Khazem, and two other fighters, as a major operation continues for a third day in the north of the occupied West Bank.
The operation has resulted in the deaths of several militants, including Abu Shujaa, leader of the Tulkarm Battalion, who was wanted by Israel for his involvement in terrorism.
The Palestinian health ministry said at least 19 Palestinians have been killed since the start of the Israeli operation, which is one of the biggest in the West Bank in two decades.
The UK and UN have expressed concern over the methods employed by Israel and the resulting civilian casualties and destruction of infrastructure
