under-cover forces of the Israeli army, local sources reported.
The sources stated that an under-cover unit of the Israeli army infiltrated into Nablus using a local-licensed vehicle, ambushed the two and opened fire at them.
The two were identified as Adel Abu Al Reesh, 24, and his cousin Firas Abu Al Reesh, 22. Both were hit by several rounds of live ammunition fired at them from a close range.
The assassination was carried out during evening hours as the residents were preparing to end their fasting day of the holy Muslim month of Ramadan.
