Israeli forces killed two Palestinians in a military raid in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus on Saturday amid ongoing air strikes in Gaza.
The pair were identified by the Palestinian health ministry as Sa'ed Masha, 32, and Adnan al-Araj, 19.
Local media said dozens of Israeli troops surrounded a house in the Balata refugee camp to make an arrest.
Palestinian fighters in the camp engaged the forces in heavy exchanges of fire.
Masha and al-Araj were killed by Israeli gunshots to the head, the Palestinian health ministry said.
The operation did not succeed in arresting or killing the people wanted inside the besieged house, according to Israeli and Palestinian media.
