Israel kills two Palestinians near Nablus
Jerusalem, Undefined (AFP):
Israeli forces killed two Palestinians near Elon Moreh, an illegal Jewish settlement near the West Bank city of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, on Tuesday, Israel’s defence minister Yoav Gallant said on Twitter.
A senior Palestinian official told AFP that he had been informed of the death of the two Palestinians, who were not immediately identified.
In a statement, the Israeli army said “armed assailants fired shots from a vehicle at the Elon Moreh post.”
Violence has surged in the region over the last week as the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, Jewish Passover and Christian Easter coincided.
The conflict has this year claimed the lives of at least 96 Palestinians, 19 Israelis, one Ukrainian and one Italian, according to an AFP count based on Israeli and Palestinian official sources.
