Israel's military on Friday carried out an arrest raid in a refugee camp in the occupied West Bank and killed two Palestinians in gun battles, according to Palestinian reports.
It was the latest bloodshed in what has become the deadliest year in the territory since 2015.
Palestinian militant groups claimed both slain men as members, though there were conflicting statements about the circumstances surrounding the death of one of them, a hospital doctor. The Palestinian Health Ministry said Dr. Abdullah al-Ahmed was on duty, attending to the wounded outside his hospital when he was shot.
The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, an armed offshoot of the secular Fatah party, claimed he was a member.
