Two Palestinians are killed by Israeli soldiers close to Jenin: army

Jenin: According to the army and Palestinian media, Israeli soldiers killed two Palestinian males on Saturday at a military station close to the city of Jenin in the occupied West Bank.
According to an army statement, the incident happened when many militants drove up in a vehicle and opened fire on troops stationed at the Salem military post near Jenin’s gate.

“The soldiers, who were pre-positioned due to several similar past incidents, eliminated two terrorists,” according to the army.
Israeli soldiers murdered Mustafa Sultan Ahmed, 22, and Ahmed Muhammad Shawahna, 21, at the military checkpoint, according to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa. Two other people were injured and sent to the hospital.

Wafa said that after refusing medical personnel access to their corpses, Israeli authorities withheld their remains.
