RAMALLAH, Nov. 3 (Xinhua) -- Two Palestinians were killed, and three were injured on Thursday afternoon by Israeli soldiers in the northern West Bank city of Jenin and its refugee camp, Palestinian medics and eyewitnesses said.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health said in a statement that Farouq Salameh, 28, died at Jenin's governmental hospital from severe wounds sustained after being shot in the head, chest, and abdomen by Israeli soldiers.
The statement added that another Palestinian, named Mohammad Saba'neh, died as a result of the critical wounds he received from Israeli forces and that three others were injured and are being treated at a hospital.
There has been no immediate Israeli authorities' comment on the incident.
Palestinian eyewitnesses and local sources said that an Israeli army force backed by armored vehicles stormed the city and its refugee camp, which was followed by fierce clashes between dozens of Palestinians and Israeli soldiers.
Earlier on Thursday, two other Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, according to the statements from the Palestinian health ministry and Israeli police.
Tension has been mounting between Israelis and Palestinians since March when the Israeli army intensified its military actions and operations against Palestinian militants and activists by storming Palestinian towns and cities in the West Bank.
At least 130 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli soldiers in the West Bank and Gaza Strip since January, and over 20 Israelis have been killed in attacks by Palestinians since March, according to official Palestinian and Israeli figures. ■
