Israeli forces
said officers and undercover police entered the Jenin refugee camp to arrest a
suspect “wanted for terrorist activity.”
“After the arrest of the suspect, as the forces left
the house, heavy fire was opened from several directions, and undercover forces
operating at the scene responded with live fire,” police said.
The
Palestinian health ministry said two men were
killed in the confrontation. Official news agency Wafa identified them as
Abdullah Al-Hosari, 22, and Shadi Khaled Najm, 18.
Troops arrested Imad Jamal Abu Al-Heija, a freed
prisoner, Wafa reported.
The news agency said the killing of the two
Palestinians sparked a “massive and angry march” in Jenin.
The arrest raid is one of several recent
high-profile Israeli incursions into West Bank cities.
Last month, Israeli troops killed three Palestinian
suspects during a daylight raid in the Northern West Bank city of Nablus.
Israel has
controlled the
West Bank since the 1967 Arab Israeli War. It has since built a
string of settlements across the territory which are illegal under
international law.
