Two Palestinians who hurled Molotov cocktails at a highway near Ramallah in the West Bank last night were shot dead by troops, the military says.

The IDF says soldiers of the 636th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit were waiting in an ambush near the Palestinian village of al-Judeira when they identified the two suspects.

Within seconds after the two Palestinians set fire to a firebomb and hurled it, they were shot dead, the army says, attaching a video of the incident.
