Jerusalem, Oct 23 (EFE).- Two young Palestinians were killed during a raid by the Israeli military in a refugee camp near Ramallah in occupied West Bank early Monday, the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This takes the total number of Palestinians killed in the West Bank since the beginning of the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza on Oct. 7 to 95.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Official Palestinian news agency, Wafa, identified the victims as Mahmud Said Nakhleh and Mohamad Nidal Ilian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Four Palestinians were also injured during firing by the Israeli soldiers, who detained at least 20 Palestinians during the raid, Wafa added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The incident happened in the Jalazone refugee camp, where residents pelted stones at the Israeli army in response to gunshots, according to the news agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Israeli military spokesperson did not offer an immediate response or provide any details of the raid in Jalazone when requested by EFE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The incident followed the deaths of eight Palestinians on Sunday in different parts of the occupied West Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two of them died in an Israeli airstrike on a mosque in the city of Jenin that, according to the army, housed “an underground terrorist complex” used by militants from the Islamist groups, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Six other Palestinians were killed allegedly by army gunfire during clashes that broke out in different cities of the West Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of those six, one died in Qabatiya, one in Tubas, one in the Al Aroub refugee camp, and three in the city of Nablus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The West Bank has been experiencing the worst violence since the Second Intifada, a five-year uprising that ended in 2005, with more than 300 deaths so far this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Israeli forces have been conducting raids in the West Bank for several days to detain people suspected of having ties to Hamas, resulting in the arrest of nearly 600 suspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Israel took control of the West Bank in 1967, and since then it has maintained a long regime of occupation and colonization over this territory. EFE<\/p>\n\n\n\n
