The IDF says the drone strike in the West Bank this morning targeted a cell of terrorists en route to carrying out an attack.
The strike hit a vehicle with five gunmen in it, on the outskirts of Tulkarem, killing all of those inside.
According to the military, the five gunmen were “on their way to carry out a terrorist attack.”
Palestinian media say that among the dead is Haitham Balidi, a commander in a local wing of Hamas in Tulkarem.
