Israeli soldiers shot dead two Palestinians Monday in a confrontation that broke out at Qalandia refugee camp just north of occupied Quds, Palestinian medical officials and witnesses said. Israeli border police confirmed that security services had entered the camp but said the incident was still under investigation. Witnesses said the soldiers entered the crowded camp during the early hours to arrest a suspected Palestinian militant and were confronted by residents, DPA reported. Clashes broke out and soldiers were said to have fired live ammunition at stone-throwing Palestinians, killing Robin Faris, 30, and Jihad Aslan, 17, who was earlier reported as clinically dead, Ahmad Beitawi, the director of Ramallah Medical Complex, said. He said 15 other people were injured, four seriously with bullet wounds to the upper part of the body.
