At least two Palestinians were killed this afternoon when Israeli occupation forces opened fire on a vehicle in the downtown area of Qalqilya, north of the occupied West Bank, according to eyewitnesses.

Eyewitnesses reported that an Israeli special forces unit, accompanied by soldiers, fired live ammunition at a vehicle as it was passing through the main street in the city center. The vehicle, hit by the gunfire, collided with the side of the road in front of a shop before coming to a halt. Meanwhile, Israeli forces prevented medical teams and citizens from approaching the scene.

A video clip showed Israeli soldiers surrounding the vehicle and extracting two young men who were killed by the gunfire.

Local sources reported that the Israeli forces withdrew from the city after seizing the vehicle and abducting the two young men from inside it.  Additionally, the sources mentioned that two bystanders sustained minor injuries during the deadly attack.
