Two Palestinians killed in West Bank raid

Two Palestinians were killed and several others detained during an attack by Israeli forces on Qabatiya, a town in the occupied West Bank, in what the army described as an "operation" to preempt militant attacks.

During the attack, troops surrounded a building where two gunmen were holed up and exchanged fire with them, the army claimed.

An eyewitness saw the body of one Palestinian killed being lifted out by an armoured bulldozer.
