RAMALLAH, Nov. 18 (Xinhua) -- At least five Palestinians were killed on Saturday after Israel bombed a building in the West Bank city of Nablus, the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said in a statement.

The PRCS said it had received at least seven people who were seriously injuried in the bombing.

An Israeli drone hit the headquarters of the Fatah in the Balata refugee camp east of Nablus, said a Palestinian security source who requires anonymity.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that its forces and aircraft struck a "terrorist hideout apartment" in the Balata refugee camp, where a number of "terrorists" were killed.

More than 210 Palestinians have been killed by Israel in the West Bank since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas conflict on Oct. 7, Palestine's official news agency WAFA reported.
