Israeli occupation forces shot and killed two more Palestinians in their car this morning near the village of Shufa, outside the occupied West Bank city of Tulkarm, Wafa has reported. The Palestinian Ministry of Health identified the two men as Hudhayfah Fares and Abdul Rahman Ata.

The killings took place during an Israeli raid in the village. According to Wafa, Israeli special forces supported by the occupation army stormed the refugee camp in Tulkarm and deployed snipers in several places.

Palestinian youths confronted the occupation forces, who, said Wafa, fired live ammunition, stun grenades and toxic gas towards them.

Medical sources at Thabet Government Hospital reported that two other Palestinian youths were wounded by the occupation forces, one in the shoulder and the other in the abdomen. Their conditions are reported to be stable.
