[IsraelTimes] Palestinian reports say one of the dead was a teenager; military says they threw explosives at soldiers, who opened fire
Two Paleostinians, one of them a teenager, were rubbed out by Israeli forces in the northern West Bank town of Ya’bad on Sunday night, the Paleostinian Authority reported.
The Israel Defense Forces said the pair had attacked soldiers with explosives.
The PA health ministry identified them as Mohammad Rabi’ Jamal Hamarsheh, 13, and Ahmad Mahmoud Zaid, 20, though the WAFA news agency reported that Hamarsheh was 16.
Clashes erupted when the IDF entered Ya’bad, west of Jenin. According to eyewitnesses and medics, both Paleostinians were shot multiple times in the upper body.
The IDF said soldiers spotted that the pair were carrying explosives, which they hurled at security forces, the Ynet outlet reported. Soldiers then opened fire, killing Hamarsheh and Zaid.
The incident came after last week the IDF carried out a two-day operation against terror activities in the Jenin area during which it said soldiers killed nine Paleostinian button men.
Several suspects were arrested and bomb-making labs were destroyed, the IDF said at the time.

According to the Paleostinian Authority’s health ministry, more than 718 West Bank Paleostinians have been killed in that time. The IDF says the vast majority of them were button men killed in exchanges of fire, rioters who clashed with troops, or faceless myrmidons killed while carrying out attacks.
During the same period, 41 people, including Israeli security personnel, have been killed in terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank. Another six members of the security forces were killed in festivities with terror operatives in the West Bank.
