Report: 2 Palestinians killed in West Bank raid
Israeli troops raided the West Bank city of Nablus before dawn Tuesday, and two Palestinians were shot and killed in the ensuing violence, Palestinian witnesses and doctors said.
Troops patrolled the Old City, known as a gunmen stronghold, taking up points on roofs and detaining at least five suspected gunmen, the witnesses said. At least two exchanges of fire broke out, and three gunmen from the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades militia were injured, two seriously, the group said. One, a local leader of the group, later died of his wounds, doctors said. (AP)
