Two Palestinian children killed by Israeli forces in West Bank

Two Palestinian teenagers were killed by Israeli gunfire near the Aqabat Jaber refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian health ministry.

The Israeli military said that they fired live bullets at two suspects who allegedly hurled explosives towards a local community, but did not confirm the deaths.

"Hits were identified," they said in a statement.

The two boys were 16 and 17 years old.
