At least 17 Israelis, including 12 security forces personnel, have also been killed in the West Bank, according to a UN tally.
Palestinian Authority spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeinah condemned the recent violence, as well as alleged torture and abuse of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, as the “crossing of all red lines”.
Footage from Aqaba, near Tubas, shows a house stained with blood. Locals say that a boy of 14 was among four killed after a dawn raid by Israeli forces resulted in violent confrontations.
Meanwhile, in Jenin – a regular flashpoint – an Israeli aircraft attacked what the Israeli military described as “terrorist cells” killing at least five.
A column of Israeli armoured personnel carriers was filmed entering the city, while armoured bulldozers dug up roads.
Tensions remain very high across the West Bank. In the south of the territory, a Palestinian was killed after allegedly stabbing an Israeli soldier in Beit Jala, at a main checkpoint on a road to Jerusalem.
