The Palestinian Ministry of Health says that two Palestinians were killed in a late-night Israeli operation in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health says that two Palestinians were killed in an Israeli operation in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus late Sunday night.
Meanwhile, according to the news agency AFP, the Israeli army said that it carried out operations and used weapons in several places, including Nablus.
The Israeli military added that it had also arrested four people suspected of involvement in "terrorist activities".
The statement further said that no one was reported injured by Israel in the action.
According to the Associated Press news agency, the Israeli army said in a statement that its operation in Nablus was carried out in collaboration with the police and it also launched operations in several other places, including the town of Mughir, Ida camp and the city of Jenin.
The Palestinian Red Crescent also confirmed that two Palestinians were killed in clashes with Israeli forces in Nablus.
Israel's security forces have launched near-daily operations in the West Bank in recent months following alleged attacks on its territory. The State of Israel has occupied the West Bank since 1967.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said that 25-year-old Muhammad Azizi died from a bullet wound in the chest, while 28-year-old Abd al-Rahman Jamal Suleiman was shot in the head during the night.
The ministry said that six other Palestinians were injured in the Israeli operation, two of them in critical condition.
"These criminal acts of Israel will not defeat our people and cannot break their resolve," said Nabil Abu Rudina, a spokesman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
In a statement to Voice of Palestine Radio, he added, "Until the illegal occupation of our land ends and a just peace is established, the entire region will continue to suffer violence."
