Two Israeli soldiers killed in occupied West Bank car ramming attack

The Israeli military identified the soldiers killed near the city of Nablus on Wednesday night as two 20-year-old sergeants in the Kfir Brigade.

According to reports, the vehicle attack occurred near the illegal Israeli settlement of Itamar outside the occupied West Bank city.

According to the Times of Israel, the suspected attacker later turned himself over to the Palestinian Authority security forces after fleeing into Nablus.

Fire breaks out at Ramallah market amid Israeli raids

Emergency workers in the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah extinguished a fire at a central vegetable market caused by Israeli munitions, according to Al Jazeera Arabic and the Wafa news agency.

There were no immediate reports of casualties.

Wafa also reported clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinians in the city, with soldiers firing live bullets, stun grenades and tear gas. At least one Palestinian was wounded by the live fire, the news agency said.

The Israeli attack on Ramallah was part of a wave of military night raids across the occupied West Bank, according to Wafa.
