Palestinians say Israeli forces kill 2 during settler attack

RAMALLAH: The Palestinian health ministry said Monday that Israeli forces shot dead two Palestinian men when a group of Israeli settlers attacked a village in the occupied West Bank overnight. The military said its troops opened fire after Palestinians threw stones at them. The Ramallah-based ministry identified the two as Odeh Abdul Rahim Odeh Farakhna, 53, and Ahmad Adel Rashid Abu Mkhou, 26. “They were killed by (Israeli) occupation gunfire in the town of Deir Jarir,” it said.
