On Thursday dawn, Israeli occupation soldiers killed two young Palestinian men in confrontations in the Al-Biereh and Nablus cities in the occupied West Bank.

Local sources said several Israeli occupation jeeps invaded the city of Al-Bireh, leading to protests before the Israeli occupying soldiers fired dozens of live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs, and concussion grenades.

During the Israeli occupation forces' storming of the city, they killed a young man, Yazan Naim Affana, 24, after shooting him with live fire, the sources added.

In a related context, Israeli occupation soldiers fatally shot a young Palestinian man in front of the main entrance of Balata refugee camp, east of Nablus, in the northern occupied West Bank.

Palestinian sources said the young man, Samer Mahmoud Suleiman Khaled, 25, from the al-Ein refugee camp in Nablus, was shot with a live round in the neck while sitting in his car.
