Intifada in 69th day; number of martyrs at 117

Israeli military forces have shot and killed two more young Palestinian men during separate incidents in the occupied West Bank amid unabated tensions in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Palestinian sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Israeli military jeeps rolled into the Dheisheh refugee camp, located just south of Beit Lahm ('Bethlehem'), on Monday.

Violence broke out when a group of Palestinian youths clashed with the Israeli forces, who fired tear gas canisters and live rounds to disperse the crowd.

A young Palestinian man, identified as Malik Shahin, was critically injured and later succumbed to his gunshot wounds. Several other Palestinians were also wounded in the melee.

Israeli troops reportedly prevented the movement of residents inside the camp and sealed the roads leading out of the site. They also did not allow ambulances and medical staff to enter the Dheisheh camp.

Earlier on Monday, a young Palestinian man was shot dead after he allegedly stabbed and wounded an Israeli man near the Ibrahimi Mosque in the city of al-Khalil ('Hebron'), located 30 kilometers (19 miles) south of al-Quds ('Jerusalem').
