KUFR AQAB, Palestinian Territories: Israeli forces killed two Palestinian men on Friday during a raid north of Jerusalem, the Ramallah-based health ministry and relatives said, while the army said troops had shot at instigators of stone throwing.

“The young man Mustafa Asaad Hamad (22 years old) was killed by Israeli gunfire in Kufr Aqab,” the ministry said in a statement.

In a separate statement, it announced the death of 46-year-old Sufyan Abu Leil, who died “of critical wounds he sustained after being shot by Israeli forces in Qalandia camp this Friday afternoon”.
