- Story Text: Two Palestinians die in Israeli military raid in northern West Bank; six are wounded.
Israeli forces have reportedly killed two Palestinians, including a 16-year-old boy, during a raid near the West Bank city of Jenin.
Palestinian security officials said that a gun battle broke out between Israeli troops and local gunmen in the village of Kafr Dan on Friday night (August 17).
One of the gunmen died along with the teenage boy.
Six other Palestinians were wounded.
An Israeli army spokesman said that several gunmen were identified during "an activity against terror infrastructure". The troops fired at them.
The Abu Amar Brigades, an armed group linked to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's secular Fatah faction, said that the gunman killed was one of its leaders. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
