Middle East: Israeli forces kill two Palestinians in West Bank city
Tue. June 24, 2008 07:27 am.- By Bonny Apunyu. -

(SomaliNet) Palestinian security sources and medical workers said two Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank city of Nablus on Tuesday.

Experts say the killings could test a truce which took effect last week between Israel and Palestinian militants in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. Though the truce applies only to Gaza, attacks on militants in the West Bank could trigger retaliation.

Troops killed a senior member of the Islamic Jihad militant group. He said he could not immediately confirm a second death, an Israeli army spokesman said.

Palestinian security sources and medical workers said one of the dead Palestinians was a member of Islamic Jihad and that the other was affiliated with Hamas.

Nablus's governor Jamal Muheisen called the Israeli raid in the city an "unjustified crime" but said he did not believe it would threaten the Gaza truce.-Agencies
