Three Palestinians were killed in an Israeli drone strike in the West Bank’s Jenin, the head of the ambulance service has said.

It comes amid growing concern about violence in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, where violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians has surged.

In an attack claimed by Hamas, three gunmen on Thursday killed an Israeli soldier and wounded five others at a checkpoint leading into Jerusalem from the West Bank.
