Israeli forces shot dead two Palestinians in an early morning raid on Friday near the occupied West Bank city of Tubas, AFP reports citing the Palestinian news agency Wafa.

One man was killed when Israeli soldiers opened fire on his vehicle in Tubas, the report said.

Another Palestinian was shot dead by Israeli gunfire when troops raided Al-Fara refugee camp near Tubas, the agency said.
