Two young men were killed after Israeli forces opened fire near the Salem military checkpoint, west of Jenin in the occupied West Bank, Al Jazeera reports, citing Palestinian news agency Wafa.

Wafa identified the two fatalities as 22-year-old Mustafa Sultan Abed and 21-year-old Ahmed Muhammad. The news agency also cited sources as saying that Israeli forces prevented ambulances from reaching the bodies of the two victims.

Two other young men sustained non-life-threatening injuries in the incident. Both were transported by the Red Crescent to a hospital in Jenin.
