Two Palestinians killed by Israeli army in West Bank
Palestinians clash with Israeli forces almost on a daily basis resulting in an increasing number of deaths.
Two Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces on Wednesday in two separate incidents in the West Bank, the Palestinian Authority (PA) said.
According to the PA, the Israeli military carried out an arrest raid that resulted in one death, while another Palestinian was killed following the stabbing and wounding of an Israeli civilian. The first happened in the northern town of the West Bank, and the second in a southern settlement.
In early January, the Israeli army killed two Palestinian men during a raid on a village near Jenin. A few days later, a Palestinian teenager was shot in Nablus.
Why it matters: According to media reports, most of the Palestinian deaths were a result of Israeli raids. Reports of deaths and clashes are being recorded on an almost daily basis.
