The Palestinian Ministry of Health has said that at least 12 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's ground and air operation in the West Bank.
Another five people are believed to have been killed in a mosque in Tulkarm on Wednesday, though their bodies have not been recovered or added to the overall toll.
