2 Palestinians killed in west bank clashes

BY A STAFF REPORTER: The Palestinian Authority's health ministry said two Palestinians were killed in clashes with Israeli forces in the west bank town of Beit Fajr near Bethlehem and in the town of Dura near Hebron.

Israel's defense forces did not comment on the clashes, but said troops used armored D9 bulldozers to raid the Jenin refugee camp overnight and uncover and destroy some makeshift bombs hidden in the area.

Soldiers clashed with gunmen in Jenin, with the IDF saying it launched a drone strike against a group of armed Palestinians who fired at Israeli forces.
