On Monday dawn, Israeli soldiers killed two Palestinians and seriously injured four when the army invaded the Al-Jalazoun refugee camp north of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank’s central part.
Many army vehicles invaded the refugee camp before the soldiers stormed and ransacked dozens of homes, causing damage, before abducting many Palestinians.
Many Palestinians protested the invasion and hurled stones at the soldiers who fired a barrage of live rounds, in addition to rubber-coated steel bullets and gas bombs.
Medical sources identified the slain Palestinians as Mahmoud Saif Traish and Mohammad Nidal Elian and said the army shot them with live fire in the head and the chest.
The sources added that the soldiers also shot and seriously injured four young men and abducted at least twenty young men from their homes.
