Israeli forces kill two Palestinians in Jenin

Two Palestinian men on Tuesday were fatally shot by the Israeli army in the eastern part of the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, according to the health ministry.  

The Palestine Red Crescent Society earlier reported that nine Palestinians were injured when Israeli forces opened fire in the area.  

Israeli raids across the occupied West Bank have escalated since the Gaza war began last year, with Israeli forces arresting over 11,500 Palestinians during this period and killing more than 700 people.
