Two Palestinians were shot dead in separate incidents in the northern and central West Bank amid flaring tensions in the region, according to Palestinian and Israeli sources.

On Sunday night, Mo’tasem Attallah, 17, was killed by a civilian at an Israeli settlement in the southern West Bank city of Hebron, Xinhua news agency quoted the Palestinian Health Ministry as saying in a statement.

Earlier in the day, a 27-year-old Palestinian man was killed by Israeli soldiers as he tried to cross the security fence between the West Bank and the Jewish state.

Arram was shot by Israeli soldiers near the northern West Bank city of Tulkarm.

The Hebrew-language Ha’aretz newspaper reported that he was a resident of the Gaza Strip who entered Israel in 2019 to seek medical care and has not returned to the besieged enclave ever since.

According to official figures, over 20 Palestinians have been killed in several shooting and stabbing attacks since March 22.
