Israeli forces shot and killed two Palestinian young men and injured three others on Tuesday afternoon, in the village of Kafr Qud, west of Jenin in the northern West Bank.

The General Authority for Civil Affairs informed the Ministry of Health of the death of the two young men, Walid Jamal Mohammad Hussein, 33, and Khader Hussein Khader Abu Qatna, 33.

Media sources said that occupation forces besieged a home in the village and opened fire towards it, resulting in the death of the two young men and the serious injury of three others.

Ambulance crews with the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said their crews were able to reach the targeted house to confirm the death of two citizens and the injury of others, adding that the army refused to hand over the bodies and forced its crews to leave the area.

In related news, earlier on Monday, an Israeli drone fired a missile into the city of Jenin, killing five Palestinians and injuring others during a military incursion into the city.
