RAMALLAH -- At least 14 Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli raid in the West Bank city of Tulkarm since Thursday, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said in a statement on Saturday.

Ambulances were able to enter the Nour Shams Palestinian refugee camp following a partial withdrawal of Israeli forces, Palestinian security sources told Xinhua.
