RAMALLAH, Jan 23 (KUNA) -- Palestinian Public Authority for Civil Information affirmed Thursday that two Palestinians were killed by Israeli occupation's bullets in Jenin in West Bank, where occupation forces are launching a wide operation for the third consecutive day.
In a press release, the authority said that it informed the Health Ministry about the death of Qutaiba Shalbi and Mohammad Nazal in Burqin villiage by occupation forces on Wednesday and keeping their bodies.
On Wednesday evening, Israeli occupation forces surrounded a house in Burqin and fired at it, according to what eyewitnesses reported to KUNA.
Israeli Channel 12 claimed that special units and Shabak security agency were able to reach and assassinate the perpetrators of the operation that took place near Al-Funduq village two weeks ago, resulting in killing three settlers and injuring others.
The occupation army continues the military operation that it began in Jenin on January 21, which has so far resulted in the death of 12 young men and the injury of dozens.
Eyewitnesses told KUNA that the occupation army forced a number of families to leave the camp and that soldiers were deployed in its neighborhoods and on the rooftops of buildings.
The occupation forces continue to impose a stifling siege on the West Bank through hundreds of barriers and iron gates erected at the entrances to Palestinian cities and towns.
The occupation's measures hindered the movement of citizens between cities and villages and deprived students of access to their schools and universities and employees to their workplaces.
The Israeli occupation army announced last week that within the framework of the agreement and preparations for the release of prisoners and after the political decisions in the West Bank, combat forces will be strengthened in defense and attack. (end) nq.seo
