Israeli army says killed two Palestinians near Hebron

The Israeli army says its soldiers have killed two Palestinians near the illegal Karmei Tzur Israeli settlement in the occupied West Bank on Monday.

The army claimed that they “hurled Molotov cocktails” towards the settlement.

The killing comes amid a surge in settler attacks in the West Bank since the start of the war on Iran.

A child was shot and injured by settlers in Beit Ummar, north of Hebron, the Palestinian Red Crescent reported.

Palestinian Information Centre agency said that a group of settlers set ablaze a vehicle scrapyard in the village of Shuqba, west of Ramallah.
