NABLUS, Jan 15: Israeli forces killed two Palestinians during a gunbattle in a West Bank village on Sunday, an Israeli military source and Palestinian medics said. The military source said troops returned fire after being shot at from a building during a pre-dawn raid in Roujib, near the city of Nablus.
Palestinian witnesses said those killed were a 48-year-old woman and her 20-year-old son. Medics said four other family members were wounded.
The witnesses said the family had opened fire at people whom they thought were trying to steal their car. The military source had no details on the dead or wounded.—Reuters
