JENIN, April 14 — Iraeli forces killed two Palestinians today in raids in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Health Ministry said, during what the Israeli army described as “counterterrorism activities”.
An Israeli army spokesperson said soldiers “responded with live ammunition” after “dozens of Palestinians violently attacked the soldiers, shot at the forces, and hurled IEDs at them, endangering their safety”. The Israeli military stepped up its raids in the West Bank following attacks by two Palestinians from the territory and three members of Israel’s Arab minority that have killed 14 people in Israel since late March.
Senior Palestinian Authority official Hussein Al-Sheikh said on Twitter the international community had “lost its credibility as a result of its silence” in the face of what he described as daily Palestinian bloodshed by Israeli “occupation forces”.“There is no way to deter the occupation and block its crimes except through comprehensive resistance and confrontation,” Gaza’s Islamic Jihad said in a statement.
