Israeli forces killed two Palestinians during a gunbattle in a West Bank village on Sunday, an Israeli military source and Palestinian medics said, according to Reuters. The military source said troops returned fire after being shot at from a building during a pre-dawn raid in Roujib, near the city of Nablus. Palestinian witnesses said those killed were a 48-year-old woman and her 20-year-old son. Medics said four other family members were wounded. The witnesses said the family had opened fire at people whom they thought were trying to steal their car.
