Again Israeli forces kill two Palestinians
The recent wave of violence in Israel and occupied Palestinian territories, following Israeli incursions into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound has claimed the lives of two more Palestinians in the hands of Israeli forces.
In separate incidents in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem, two Palestinians were shot at and killed by Israeli security forces.
One Palestinian was shot and killed near the Hizme checkpoint in the occupied West Bank in the first incident on Thursday afternoon.
Moments after Aribe was shot dead, the Israeli army in a statement said Aribe stopped at a checkpoint, exited his vehicles and started firing.

“The forces responded, shooting the attacker and resulting in his death.”
The statement said an Israeli soldier and a bystander were wounded. Hadassah hospital said it was treating a seriously injured man who had been shot in the upper torso in the incident.
The assailant was identified as a 37 year-old intelligence officer Mazen Aribe. Palestinian media reports that Aribe lived in the East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Abu Dis and was a father of four.
In the second incident, police shot and killed a Palestinian man, after he allegedly stabbed and wounded a security officer near Jerusalem’s Old City.
A statement by Israeli police said the man “stabbed a policeman, leaving him injured,” but provided no details on the Palestinian fatality.
