The Palestinian Red Crescent said a drone targeted a group of five young men near a mosque in the city of Tubas at dawn on Wednesday, and an ambulance crew transferred the bodies to the local government hospital.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said an aircraft struck an “armed terrorist cell” during counter-terrorism activity by security forces in Tubas and the nearby town of Tamun.
An Israeli military official said later that a curfew had been declared in Tubas as part of the operation.
The government hospital has been surrounded and people can exit and enter only subject to being checked by forces, according to the official.
