Two Palestinian men died from their wounds after Israeli forces opened fire in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, the Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.
According to the director of Jenin Governmental Hospital, Wissam Bakr, the two men were identified as Subh Ahmad Subhi Al-Baz, 36, and Kifah Dabaia.
Bakr said that Al-Baz had sustained serious wounds after Israeli forces fired on Palestinians on 6 August during a military raid in the village of Kafr Qud.
Israeli forces placed homes under siege during the raid, which comes after Israeli forces shelled a vehicle in an eastern neighbourhood in Jenin last Tuesday, killing five Palestinians and wounding six others, including Al-Baz.
Last week, a US citizen also told AFP he was shot by Israeli forces and wounded in the leg during a protest against settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank, with the Israeli military confirming it fired live rounds to disperse the gathering.
Since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza on 7 October, there has been an uptick in violence, raids, and arrests against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
According to Amnesty International, since October, Israel has carried out "unlawful killings, including by using lethal force without necessity or disproportionately during protests and arrest raids, denying medical assistance to those injured."
Israelis have killed over 500 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank since 7 October and arrested at least 10,000 others.
Meanwhile, a Palestinian mother who was attacked along with her family after making a wrong turn into an Israeli settlement in the occupied West Bank said she rejected a far-right lawmaker’s claim that her car was not Israeli.
Nofa and her family, who are Palestinian citizens of Israel, drove off the main road after following their navigation system while on their way to Nablus, but were violently attacked by settlers who burnt their car, pelted them with stones, and held a gun to her three-year-old’s heads.
An Israeli member of Knesset defended and justified the attack on Sunday, saying: "When a vehicle enters without an Israeli license plate, we know the dangers and threats, then we cannot compromise."
"An incident like this could be espionage or intelligence-gathering."
One of the family members, Lamis Al-Jaar, hit out at the comment saying: "The car was an Israeli vehicle. They even saw our ID cards."
"And they still held a gun to our heads and the head of a little girl."
Following the incident, the Israeli N12 News stated the family members had suffered from burns and bruises and had to be transferred to the Rabin Medical Centre-Beilinson Campus for treatment.
Earlier this year, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said the Israeli military either took part in or did not protect Palestinians from violent settler attacks in the West Bank that have displaced people from 20 communities and have entirely uprooted at least seven communities since October.
"Israeli settlers have assaulted, tortured, and committed sexual violence against Palestinians, stolen their belongings and livestock, threatened to kill them if they did not leave permanently, and destroyed their homes and schools under the cover of the ongoing hostilities in Gaza," the rights group stated in a report.
