Al-Qassam Website - Israeli occupation forces have shot dead two Palestinians and critically injured another in a violent raid into the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reported.

Local sources said that large numbers of the Israeli occupation military forces had stormed Qabatiya town, south of occupied Jenin, closed the main streets in the town, restricting Palestinian movement, and besieged several homes.

The heroic Palestinian resistance fighters confronted the Israeli occupation raid, leading to the outbreak of armed clashes that resulted in the martyrdom of two Palestinians.

The slain Palestinians have been identified as Ahmed Asaf and Rami Qatanat.

This latest aggression brings the total number of Palestinians killed by the Israeli occupation forces and colonial settlers to 128 for the year, including 25 children, four elderly individuals, a detainee, and seven women.

This comes a day after Israeli occupation warplanes launched airstrikes on the besieged Gaza Strip, killing 15 Palestinians, mostly civilians, and injuring many others.
