ISRAELI FORCES KILL TWO PALESTINIANS IN WEST BANK RAID

Israeli forces on Monday killed two Palestinians and wounded more than two dozen others during a raid in the occupied West Bank, according to Palestinian officials.

A statement from the Palestinian health ministry said there were two martyrs and 28 injured as a result of the ongoing aggression on Jenin, without elaborating on the identity of those killed.

Jenin’s deputy governor, Kamal Abu al-Rub, told newsmen the Israeli forces had launched the raid at around 04:00 am.

The Israeli army did not immediately provide any information on the raid in the northern West Bank city.

Israel has occupied the West Bank since the 1967 Six-Day War and its forces regularly launch incursions into Palestinian cities, which are nominally under the control of President Mahmud Abbas’s Palestinian Authority.

Since the start of the year, at least 161 Palestinians, 21 Israelis, a Ukrainian, and an Italian have been killed in violence linked to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The figures include combatants as well as civilians and, on the Israeli side, three members of the Arab minority.
