According to Israeli media, two Israelis were killed in a Palestinian village Friday morning when they invaded the village in a large group, and a Palestinian allegedly grabbed the gun of one of the attackers and shot two.
The two Israeli paramilitary colonizers, who were killed while invading an unarmed Palestinian village and shooting at Palestinian civilians, were identified as Benayahu Mellet, 32, and Major Yuval Ezra, 27, from Herzliya.
Mellet was a paramilitary soldier with the Havat Gilad militia.
At least four Palestinians have been killed, as well as homes and farms set on fire, as Israeli paramilitary colonizers have poured into Palestinian areas in a rampage of revenge attacks.
The invasion by Mellet, Ezra and hundreds of others follows a call Friday morning by Israeli ministers for Israeli militia groups to invade and destroy Palestinian villages.
According to Quds News, Israeli ministers and settler leaders are demanding the mass destruction and ethnic cleansing of Palestinian villages in the occupied West Bank, after armed paramilitary colonizers attacked the village of Tell southwest of Nablus on Friday morning and Israeli occupation forces killed four Palestinians there.
Local sources said gangs of Israeli paramilitary troops launched an organised attack at dawn on Palestinian homes on the outskirts of Tell, firing live rounds at the houses. Residents confronted them, and during the clashes a Palestinian seized a weapon from an armed colonial settlement officer near the Havat Gilad outpost, built on the village’s land, and opened fire. Two Israelis were killed and several others wounded. Israeli occupation forces then shot dead four Palestinians in Tell and wounded four more, three of them critically, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
The Israeli occupation army classified the incident as a “terrorist attack”, and imposed a closure on Nablus and a full curfew on Tell and Burin, and announced preparations for an extensive military operation. Netanyahu vowed to act with full force, and the army’s chief of staff ordered additional troops into the area. Occupation forces also raided the Nablus Specialised Hospital, assaulting medical staff and detaining a number of Palestinians inside.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich responded by calling for the destruction and emptying of three named villages.
