Israel kills 2 Palestinians in West Bank, 2 others in Gaza

Two Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces in separate incidents in the northern West Bank on Saturday, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said.
According to the ministry in Ramallah, a 16-year-old, Rayan Mohammed Abdel Qader Abu Mualla, was killed in Qabatiya. His body is being withheld by Israeli forces, the statement added. Earlier, a 22-year-old man, Ahmed Said Zayoud, was shot dead in Silat al-Harithiya, northwest of Jenin.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said both incidents involved attacks on troops. In Qabatiya, a Palestinian hurled a brick at soldiers from the Paratroopers Brigade’s reconnaissance unit during a raid. The troops returned fire, killing the attacker, the IDF said.
Minutes later in Silat al-Harithiya, another Palestinian threw an explosive device at the soldiers, who also responded with fire, the IDF said. No Israeli soldiers were reported injured in either incident.
