Nur Shams attack carried out by Israeli air strike
Both the Wafa news agency and the Israeli army have said the attack on the camp was an air strike, with Wafa saying a drone was used.
Wafa named the dead as 22-year-old Yazid Saed Adil Shafi, 25-year-old Namir Anwar Ahmed Hamarishah, 20-year-old Muhammed Yasir Raja Shahadah, and 22-year-old Muhammed Hassan Ghanim Kanouh.
The Israeli military said that an “aircraft struck a terrorist cell in the area of Nur Shams while they planted an explosive device”.
