Israeli Forces Kill Two 14-Year-Old Palestinians Amid Stepped-Up Raids Across West Bank
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces carried out violent raids
Monday that killed two 14-year-old Palestinian boys. Both Islam Abdel
Aziz Noah Majarmeh and Muhammad Sari Omar Maskala were killed by Israeli
fire in the Jenin refugee camp. The stepped-up raids follow Monday's
shooting attack in occupied East Jerusalem that left six Israelis dead
and 12 others wounded. In the wake of that attack, Israel's far-right
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said the villages that the two
Palestinian attackers came from should "become like Rafah and Beit
Hanoun" - a reference to cities in Gaza reduced to rubble by Israel. On
Monday, Israeli forces released footage of engineers preparing to
destroy the homes of the alleged gunmen, part of a policy of collective
punishment often deployed by Israel against the families of Palestinians
accused of crimes.
