Israeli soldiers shot dead two Palestinians in two different areas of the West Bank overnight, both sides reported Thursday, according to dpa. Israeli soldiers drove into the city of Qalqilya in an attempt to arrest militants and killed Saleh Yassin, 28, a member of the Palestinian security forces. Hours earlier, further north in Jenin, undercover soldiers killed Nafe Saadi, 22, during an attempt to arrest a son of a Hamas leader who is in an Israeli prison. According to Palestinian media reports, two Palestinians were shot by the undercover unit during a stakeout of the Hamas leader's house. One of them died of his wounds while the other was seriously injured.
