Israel launches a deadly airstrike in the West Bank, and other news.

An Israeli airstrike on the Nur Shams refugee camp in the Israeli-occupied West Bank killed at least five Palestinians on Monday, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, which said two of the five were teenagers. Israel’s military said on social media that it had attacked “an operations room” in the area but did not give additional details. The United Nations said last week that Israeli airstrikes on the West Bank had killed 128 Palestinians, including 26 children, since the war began in Gaza on Oct. 7.

A crude-oil tanker burning in the Red Sea may lead to “environmental disaster,” Matthew Miller, the State Department spokesman, said in a statement on Monday. He added that the tanker threatened to “spill a million barrels of oil,” or about four times as much oil as that released in the Exxon Valdez disaster off Alaska in 1989, and that the United States was “gravely concerned.” The crew of the Greek-flagged ship targeted last week was rescued, but the ship has been aflame ever since. Mr. Miller called on the Yemen-based Houthis to stop the attacks. The militia group backed by Iran has been striking commercial ships in the Red Sea in allegiance with Hamas in Gaza.
