The Palestinian Ministry of Health has said Israeli forces have killed two Palestinians, including a teenager, in the West Bank city of Jenin which has seen repeated military raids.

In a statement, the Ramallah-based health ministry said the two Palestinians were “shot dead by the occupation army”.

The governor of Jenin, Kamal Abu al-Rub, said Israeli soldiers surrounded a house in the Jenin refugee camp adjacent to the city.

“The occupation [Israeli] soldiers climbed on the roofs of the houses and started shooting at anything that moved, resulting in the martyrdom of a minor and a young man in his 20s,” he told AFP.

The official Palestinian news agency Wafa said one of the dead was a 17-year-old boy.
