Israeli occupation forces killed 2 Palestinian youths during a raid in the Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank early Wednesday, Palestinian medical and security sources said.

One of the two had been evacuated in serious condition and later succumbed to his wounds, medical sources said.

A third Palestinian who was shot in the leg was in moderate condition.

Occupation army claimed their soldiers were subjected tto fire attack by Palestinians in the refugee camp, but its spokeswoman  said none of their forces were wounded.

The occupied territories have been since October 2015 rocked by a wave of unrest due to strict Israeli measures especially in al-Quds and near al-Aqsa Mosque, with Zionist settlers, backed by IOF, repeatedly storming the holy compound.

Palestinians have been retaliating for the Israeli attacks by stabbing attempts. However, the occupation authorities have been using such attempts as a pretext to kill Palestinians.

Since October 2015, 277 Palestinians have been martyred while 42 Israelis have been killed.
