Israeli soldiers shoot dead two Palestinian teens in West Bank
WAFA said the dead were 15 and 19, while the Israeli military said troops fired after three people threw fire bombs and burned tyres.
- Israeli soldiers shot dead two Palestinian teenagers, aged 15 and 19, near the Karmei Tzur settlement in the West Bank on Monday, according to Palestinian officials.
- Frequent Israeli military raids and tightened movement restrictions on Palestinian villages near settlements have intensified tensions, while Palestinians have also carried out attacks on Israeli soldiers and settlers.
- Official Palestinian news agency WAFA confirmed the teenagers' ages, though Reuters could not independently verify the Israeli military's account; the Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported a third person, aged 15, hospitalized in stable condition.
- At least 57 Palestinians have been killed in incidents involving settlers and the military since the start of the year, according to UN data, as attacks by Israeli settlers on Palestinians have risen sharply.
- Most countries view Israel's settlements as illegal under international law and an obstacle to Palestinian statehood, though Israel rejects this, asserting the territory is disputed and a Jewish presence has existed there for thousands of years.
