Israeli military raid in West Bank kills 2 Palestinians

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:15:21 GMT

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli forces shot and killed two Palestinians, including a 16-year-old, in a raid in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, Palestinian health officials said, the latest violence to shake the region.Some of that violence has been perpetrated by radical Jewish settlers in the West Bank and on Tuesday, an Israeli court ordered that Jewish settler allegedly involved in the shooting death of a 19-year-old Palestinian be released from detention and placed under under house arrest. The ruling follows the release from detention last week of another settler accused of involvement in the same incident who was also transferred to house arrest. Israel has been carrying out near-nightly raids in the West Bank since last year in response to a spate of Palestinian attacks, fueling tensions in the region and sending the death toll soaring. Tuesday’s developments come amid a spike in attacks on Palestinians by radical Jewish settlers, settlement expansion and as Israel i...
