Israeli forces killed two Palestinians on December 26 in a raid on a refugee camp near the occupied West Bank city of Hebron, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.
The two — aged 17 and 31 — were shot dead in the Fawwar refugee camp, south of Hebron, the ministry said.
The Army said it carried out a "counter-terrorism" operation in the town of Fawwar.
It said during the operation "assailants hurled rocks, Molotov cocktails and fireworks at Israeli security forces".
The forces "responded with riot dispersal means and live fire. Hits were identified," the Army added in a statement.
A resident from the camp told AFP that troops stormed the camp from its southern and northern entrances.
"The two men were killed just outside their homes," he said, asking to remain anonymous over security concerns.
