Two Palestinians, including a teenager, gunned down by Israeli forces during raid in occupied West Bank

Israeli forces killed two Palestinians during a raid in the occupied West Bank, Palestinian and Israeli authorities confirmed on Tuesday. 

The Palestinian health ministry said two men were killed in the fighting. Official news agency Wafa identified them as Abdullah al-Hosari, 22, and Shadi Khaled Najm, 18. 

Israeli forces detained Imad Jamal Abu Al-Heija, a freed prisoner, Wafa reported.

The killing of the two Palestinians sparked a "massive and angry march" in Jenin.

Israeli forces said officers and undercover police entered the Jenin refugee camp to arrest the suspect who they claim was "wanted for terrorist activity" when they came under fire. 

The arrest raid is one of several recent high-profile Israeli incursions into West Bank cities. 

Last month, Israeli troops killed three Palestinian suspects during a daylight raid in the northern West Bank city of Nablus.

Israel violently seized the West Bank during the war of 1967.

It has since built a string of settlements across the occupied Palestinian territory that are considered illegal under international law and occupied by some 475,000 Israeli settlers.

Analysts and experts say these settlements are an attempt by Israel to annex the West Bank and make the viability of an independent Palestinian state untenable.
