Israel kills 2 more Palestinians in West Bank
RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) – Two Palestinians were killed by Israeli army near the West Bank city of Tulkarm, local media reported.
The pair lost their lives in Dannabeh neighborhood in the city and their bodies were withheld by Israeli forces which raided the area and slapped a siege around a house there, asking its occupants through loudspeakers to surrender, witnesses said, adding that rocket-propelled grenades were fired by Israeli forces towards the house.
A Palestinian girl was earlier killed by Israeli army fire in the town of Kafr Dan near Jenin in the northern West Bank.
The Israeli army launched a large-scale military operation in the northern West Bank last Wednesday, the largest in two decades, killing at least 33 people and causing massive destruction in the area.
The offensive came amid rising tensions in the occupied territory as Israel presses ahead with its war on Gaza. Israel has killed more than 40,800 Palestinians, mostly women and children, in Gaza since October 7 last year.
At least 685 people have been killed and over 5,700 others injured by Israel in the occupied West Bank in the same period, according to the Health Ministry.
