The Israeli Army Radio claimed that the airstrike targeted armed men in Tulkarm, but the scene at Tulkarm hospitals and clinics tell another story.
Mutilated bodies and unidentified body parts were brought into hospitals in whatever form of transport the desperate refugees could find.
Initially, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said that 14 people were killed before the number jumped to 20, according to Al-Jazeera.

Local journalists at the scene said that many unidentified bodies are still uncounted for.
This is considered the first time since the Second Intifada (2000-2005) that Israeli fighter jets strike the area.
The official Palestinian news agency WAFA said that the strike targeted a very crowded area where many people were gathering inside a local cafe.
At least one missile hit the Hammam neighborhood in Tulkarm, according to WAFA.
This is a developing story ..
