Israeli Forces Kill 2 Palestinians in West Bank Raids 
------------------------------------------------------


 
Israeli forces have killed two more Palestinians in a continued
crackdown over the kidnapping of three teenagers. Two Palestinians were
shot dead on Sunday, including one man in Nablus who had allegedly
thrown rocks at Israeli troops. Demonstrators also confronted
Palestinian Authority forces in Ramallah, asking them for protection
against Israeli raids. At least four Palestinians have been killed and
330 have been detained since the teens were kidnapped earlier this month
while hitchhiking from a Jewish settlement. No group has claimed
responsibility, but the Israeli government has blamed Hamas.
