Five Palestinians, including a 60-year-old woman, were killed by Israeli forces in Jenin over the past 24 hours, the Palestinian Authority said on Tuesday, adding to a growing toll from one of the largest operations seen in the West Bank in years.

Israeli fire has killed four people and wounded 14 in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, Palestinian officials said, even as a fragile ceasefire with Hamas has largely held. Israeli strikes have killed dozens of Palestinians who the army says had approached its troops or entered unauthorized areas in violation of the January truce.

Israel has killed eight people in the Gaza Strip and five more in the West Bank in the past 24 hours, Palestinian officials have said. It comes as a fragile ceasefire in Gaza between Israel and Hamas - which came into effect on 19 January - largely holds.
