Two Hamas members were killed in an air raid on a car in Jenin on the occupied West Bank on Saturday.

According to a statement from Israel's intelligence service, the two men were involved in planning an attack in the Jordan Valley last week where an Israeli man was shot to death.

Hamas' armed branch, the al-Qassam brigades, says in a statement that they mourn the loss of two of their members who were killed in an Israeli air raid.

On Sunday, a Jewish settler died from the injuries he sustained in an attack on a Jewish settlement in Samaria on the West Bank. Israel's military reports that the perpetrator "attacked a civilian, stole his weapon, and fled the scene".

The attack occurred near the site where Israeli settlers attacked residents of a Palestinian community. The attack was internationally condemned and sharply criticized by, among others, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Violence on the West Bank has increased since Hamas' extensive attack on Israel on October 7.
