Israel has struck a mosque in Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, with Palestinian medics reporting at least two people killed. Israeli's military said the strike on Al-Ansar Mosque early on Sunday killed several "terror operatives" from Hamas and Islamic Jihad who had been using the building as a command centre to plan attacks.

Israeli military officials said those killed were organising an "imminent" attack and had been involved in several attacks in recent months. Footage on social media appeared to show heavy damage to the mosque's exterior and medics rushing to the scene.

It is believed to be only the second time Israel has launched an air raid on the occupied West Bank since 2006.
