JERUSALEM, Nov. 7 — The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement on Friday that it had killed two Palestinians who threw Molotov cocktails at Israeli vehicles on a West Bank highway overnight.
According to the IDF, the incident occurred near the village of Al-Judeira, north of Jerusalem, when soldiers spotted and killed the two Palestinians.
On Thursday, two other Palestinians, a teenager and an elderly woman, were killed in separate incidents involving the Israeli army in the West Bank, according to Palestinian sources.
The two were 15-year-old Murad Fawzi Abu Seifen, killed by Israeli army gunfire in the northern West Bank, and 80-year-old Haniya Hanoun, killed after being assaulted by Israeli forces inside her home in the town of Al-Mazra’a Al-Gharbiya, the central West Bank.
Meanwhile, Israeli military operations continue in Gaza. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated on Friday that he has instructed the army to demolish all Hamas tunnels throughout the Gaza Strip.
“Until the last tunnel,” Katz wrote on social media platform X. “If there are no tunnels, there is no Hamas.” Katz’s remarks come as around 200 Hamas fighters were reportedly trapped in underground tunnels in Rafah, Gaza’s southernmost city.
An Israeli government official confirmed earlier this week that Israel had rejected a proposal from mediators to allow the militants safe passage out of the tunnels to areas outside Israeli control. (Xinhua)
