It was the first time that Israel used its air force against the occupied territories since the 2000-2002 Palestinian intifada.
Raith Radwan, a field commander in the military wing of the Islamic Jihad in Tulkarem, was killed in the Israeli airstrike, Palestinian media reported.
The Palestinian WAFA news agency said more than two dozen Palestinians were killed and injured tonight in an Israeli massacre which targeted a popular café in the Tulkarm refugee camp.
According to our WAFA correspondent, Israeli warplanes fired at least one missile at a packed café in the Al-Hamam neighbourhood.
Civil defence and ambulance vehicles rushed to the scene to assist the victims, transporting the injured to the Thabet Government Hospital in Tulkarm.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that its teams transported the bodies of some of the victims, along with one injured person, to hospital.
