Two leaders of Fatah's military wing were killed by Israeli bullets in the West Bank, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu decided to stop Israeli incursions into the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque for the remainder of Ramadan.
The Israel Broadcasting Corporation confirmed that two Palestinians were killed Tuesday by army gunfire at the settlement of "Elon Moreh", which is built on land in the village of Deir al-Hatab, east of Nablus in the West Bank.
The occupying army claimed that the two martyrs had tried to open fire at the settlement, and said that they had been found in possession of a pistol and two M-16 rifles.
The two martyrs were Saud Abdullah Saud al-Titi and Muhammad Ghazi Muhammad Abu Dara, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
Through loudspeakers in Nablus mosques, Fatah mourned Saud al-Titi and Muhammad Abu Dara, saying they were "leaders of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades" from the Balata refugee camp.
Military operation
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant praised the "successful" military operation near the settlement of Elon Moreh.
"The soldiers prevented an attack on Israeli civilians," Gallant said.
For its part, the Israeli Prime Ministry said that Netanyahu decided to prevent Jews from entering Al-Aqsa courtyards until the end of the month.
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir attacked the decision, saying it was due to the wave of terrorism, calling it a grave mistake that would lead to further escalation.
