Five Palestinians killed in occupied West Bank in one day

Israeli forces killed at least five Palestinians on Monday in the occupied West Bank, in a particularly bloody day, even as they continued their offensive in Gaza. 

The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced the death late Monday evening local time of Muhammad Saadi al-Faroukh, 22, and Anas Ismail al-Faroukh, 23, as a result of gunfire by Israeli forces in Sa’ir, northeast of Hebron.

The deaths came as the Israeli military ramped up attacks in the occupied West Bank. Earlier in the day they assaulted the Qalandia refugee camp near the city of Ramallah, injuring at least 22 other Palestinians, the Palestinian Red Crescent said.

Middle East Eye reported earlier the death of one Palestinian man in Qalandia by Israeli forces and two other Palestinian men in Qalqilya in the occupied West Bank.
