Al Jazeera:
At least three Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in two separate incidents in the occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, as Israeli forces continued to carry out raids across the territory.
In the first incident, at a junction near the Palestinian city of Hebron, the Israeli military said its troops were shot at by one man, while another attempted to stab them, before they opened fire on both individuals.
The official Palestinian news agency Wafa, citing local sources, said ambulance crews were prevented from reaching the site. The two men, aged 18 and 19 years old, were later confirmed dead.
In the second incident, at a checkpoint further north in the West Bank, the military said a woman tried to stab soldiers who then responded with live fire. She was later confirmed dead by Palestinian health authorities.
The killings took place after at least 14 people were killed in three days of incursions on Nur Shams refugee camp in the occupied West Bank.
The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said late on Saturday that its crews had “evacuated 14 martyrs from Nur Shams camp to the hospital”. The Israeli army said troops had killed 10 “fighters” during the operation, which it said started on Thursday.
Al Jazeera’s Hamdah Salhut said on Sunday that there were at least five active raids across the territory, primarily focusing on the Nablus, Hebron and Ramallah areas.
“At least one Palestinian has been arrested in Nablus. In Hebron, in the village of Beit Ummar, Israeli forces are invading one of the homes, reportedly looking for someone,” she said from occupied East Jerusalem.
