PRCS announced the death toll of a deadly Israeli raid on Nur Shams refugee camp in the north of the occupied West Bank.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society said Saturday at least 14 people have been killed in an Israeli raid on Nur Shams refugee camp in the north of the occupied West Bank.

Israeli forces launched the raid on the Nur Shams area, near the Palestinian city of Tulkarm, on Friday. 

In Gaza, Israeli strikes hit the southern city of Rafah, where over one million Palestinians are sheltering, as well as Al-Nuseirat in central Gaza, where at least five houses were destroyed, and the Al-Jabalia area in the north, health officials and Gaza media said.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas condemned the United States for effectively stopping the United Nations from recognising a Palestinian state by casting a veto this week in the Security Council.

In an interview with the official Palestinian news agency WAFA, Abbas said the Palestinian Authority would reconsider bilateral relations with the United States.
