Palestinians say 2 killed by Israeli fire in Jenin

Two Palestinian men were killed by Israeli fire in Jenin in the northern West Bank, the Palestinian health ministry says.

The two are named by official Palestinian mouthpiece Wafa as Yazam al-Hassan and Amir Abu Hassan. It is not immediately clear if either were affiliated with any terror groups.

The killings raise the death toll from a major Israeli anti-terror offensive in the area to 19, according to Wafa.

A spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces says the reports are being checked.
