Israeli Forces Kill Two More Palestinians in Occupied West Bank
---------------------------------------------------------------

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli soldiers shot and killed two
Palestinians near the town of Sofin Tuesday. They were identified as
32-year-old Mohammed Ashqar and 31-year-old Diaa Salmi. Israeli forces
reportedly blocked anyone from approaching the wounded men, leaving them
to bleed out before medical help could arrive. Israel has carried out
near-daily raids across the occupied West Bank, killing at least 800
Palestinians since October 2023 and arresting over 12,000.
