Two Palestinian gunmen killed by Israel in recent West Bank fighting

 


Two Palestinian terrorists who opened fire on soldiers in the occupied West Bank early on Wednesday were killed in the most recent incident in the region's almost daily bloodshed.

Moreover, tensions are at an all-time high as a result of a series of Israeli bombs in the Gaza Strip that left 10 people dead, the majority of them women and children, including three senior Islamic Jihad members.

However, as a precaution against attacks by Palestinian terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip, schools were shuttered for a second day. Residents of southern Israel have been instructed by the Israeli military to remain close to bomb shelters.

Gunmen opened fire on soldiers during an army operation in the Palestinian hamlet of Qabatiya in the northern West Bank. According to the story, the two people were killed when soldiers returned fire and seized their guns.

The two men who died were Rani Qatanat, 24, and Ahmed Assaf, 19. The people weren't immediately recognized as being affiliated with any violent groups.

Furthermore, Israel has been carrying out virtually daily operations to capture accused Palestinian terrorists, including a number of Islamic Jihad members, since more than a year ago. The northern West Bank city of Jenin has become a frequent target of such operations as a hub of Palestinian terrorism.

Notably, Israel asserts that the goals of its operations in the West Bank are to eliminate terrorist networks and put a halt to impending attacks.

At least 107 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire in the occupied West Bank since the beginning of 2023, with around half of them being terrorists. At least 20 people have died as a consequence of Palestinian attacks against Israelis.

Israel prevailed in the 1967 conflict over the West Bank, east Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, which the Palestinians aspired for a future independent state.

Israeli settlers have once again attacked religious minorities in the region, this time targeting a church in East Jerusalem.

  According to reports, the settlers assaulted clerics and worshippers at the Church of the Sepulchre of Saint Charbel, causing damage to the property and injuring several people.
