The Palestinian health ministry identified the dead
as Muhamad Azizi, 25, who it said was killed by a bullet to the chest, and
Abdul Rahman Jamal Suleiman Soboh, 28, who was shot in the head.
The
Palestinian Red Crescent reported treating 19
wounded in Nablus, including 10 people hit by live fire.
According to the Palestinian news agency, WAFA,
Israeli occupation forces stormed the neighborhood of Al-Yasmina in Nablus
after midnight. The Israeli troops cordoned off a house before “bombing the
house with explosives and gunfire”, which killed Azizi and Soboh.
Israel’s security forces have launched near-daily
operations in the West Bank since March. Israel has occupied the West Bank
since 1967.
Nabil Abu Rudeineh, a spokesman for Palestinian
President Mahmoud Abbas, said in a statement to Voice of Palestine radio: “This
Israeli crime will not defeat our people and will not break their will.”
“The entire region will remain in a cycle of
violence until the occupation is ended and a just peace is achieved,” he added.
Thousands of Palestinians attended the funeral
procession for the two deceased later in the day.
At least 52 Palestinians have been killed since late
March, mostly in the West Bank, mostly civilians, including Al Jazeera
journalist
Shireen Abu Akleh, a Palestinian-American dual national, who was
covering an Israeli raid in Jenin.
Over the same period, 19 people — the majority
Israeli civilians inside Israel — have been killed, mainly in attacks by
Palestinians. Three Israeli Arab attackers have also been killed.
