Two Palestinians were killed by Israeli army gunfire in the city of Jenin on Friday night, as Israeli forces raided several cities and towns across the occupied West Bank.
Israeli forces killed two Palestinians near the Salem military checkpoint, killing 21-year-old Mustafa Sultan Abed and 20-year-old Ahmad Mohammed Shawahna and injuring others.
According to the official Palestinian news agency WAFA, “heavily-armed soldiers” prevented ambulances from reaching the area to recover the two bodies.
For its part, the Israeli army confirmed that its soldiers had killed two Palestinians for allegedly “firing on a military site in the northern West Bank.”
Al-Jazeera quoted the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation as saying that a third Palestinian fled the scene after being injured, without providing further details.
