Israeli Occupation forces killed today Thursday four Palestinians and wounds others in Jenin, Bethlehem & Ramallah.
Israeli forces Thursday morning killed two Palestinians and wounded six others in the northern West bank district of Jenin, according to local sources.
They said that a sizable Israeli military force barged its way into Al-Yamun and Kafr Dan towns, west, and northwest of the city, triggering violent confrontations.
The soldiers opened fire on local youths, killing two and wounding six others, including two serious injuries.
One of the two fatalities was identified as Shas Kamamji, the brother of Ayham Kamamji, one of the prisoners who managed to dig their way out of the highly fortified Gilboa prison in September.
The second fatality was identified as Mustafa Abu-Alrub, a resident of Misilyah village, south of the city, who was gunned down at the western entrance of Jenin.
The soldiers detained four Palestinians, including three brothers of Kamamji, after storming their houses in Kafr Dan and another from al-Yamun.
