Two Palestinian youths shot dead and 20 arrested as Israeli forces continue deadly crackdown in the occupied West Bank.
Israeli forces have shot dead two young Palestinians and injured two others as they continued their military incursions into the occupied West Bank.
Mustafa Sultan Abed, 22 and Ahmad Mohammad Shawahneh, 21, were shot dead near the Salem checkpoint in the city of Jenin, and ambulances were prevented from reaching the area to recover the bodies of the two slain youths, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported on Saturday.
“What we know is that they were left to bleed out for about an hour before ambulances were allowed to arrive and attend to them,” said Al Jazeera’s Zein Basravi, reporting from Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.
“This is a violation of international law. Israeli soldiers are obligated by international law to give life-saving aid, even in an instance such as this.”
Two moderately wounded Palestinians were rushed to Jenin city, a Palestine Red Crescent Society medic was quoted as saying by Wafa.
