An Israeli air strike in the occupied West Bank today has killed two Palestinians. The victims of the attack on Tubas were named as Udi Radwan Daraghma, 32, and Khalil Magdi Al-Masri, 26.

According to the Palestine Red Crescent Society, the occupation security forces prevented its crews from reaching the two men at the site of the attack.

The Israeli occupation forces stormed into Tubas this morning after Special Forces personnel had infiltrated the city, and took up positions on the main street. The soldiers fired smoke bombs before reinforcements from the army’s Tayasir checkpoint were sent in.

Palestinian residents were prevented from moving around the city as normal, and Israeli snipers were deployed, as were low-flying reconnaissance aircraft.
