Al-Jazeera correspondent in Palestine reported that two Palestinian youths were killed at dawn today, Monday, by Israeli occupation forces' bullets, as they stormed the town of Kafr Dan, west of Jenin, in the West Bank.

The Palestinian News Agency said that the two martyrs are Muhammad Samer Hassan Hoshiyeh (21 years), from the town of Al-Yamoun, who was hit by several bullets in the chest, and Fouad Mahmoud Ahmed Abed (17 years), from Kafr Dan, who was shot in the abdomen and thigh.

The two martyrs were seriously injured, along with 8 other Palestinians, as a result of live bullets being fired at dozens of Palestinians in the town.

During the operation that it carried out in Kafrdan, the occupation forces stormed the homes of the families of the two martyrs, Ahmed and Abd al-Rahman Abed, the perpetrators of the Gilboa operation, which led to the killing of an Israeli officer last September.

Al-Jazeera correspondent stated that the Israeli force, reinforced with vehicles and a bulldozer, demolished the two houses.

The "Jenin Brigade", which includes Palestinian resistance fighters from several factions, said that it clashed with Israeli forces as they stormed the town of Kafr Dan.

The Palestinian group confirmed that it confronted the occupation forces with automatic weapons and explosive devices, stressing that it had achieved direct casualties among the Israeli soldiers.
