(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) Two Palestinians were killed on Saturday by Israeli occupation forces and settlers in Jerusalem and Hebron.
Palestinian Red Crescent Society said in a statement that the occupation forces shot and killed a 16-year-old Palesitnian youth near Armon Ha Natziv settlement south east Jerusalem.
A large Israeli force arrived in the areas, imposed a security cordon and prevented the press from reaching the scene of the incident.
In the occupied West Bank city of Hebron, a settler also shot and killed 18-year-old Palestinian Mohammad Awad Al Qasimi while he was passing through Al Shuhada' Street in central Hebron.
Thirty four Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli army and security forces since the beginning of October 2015, according to figures released by the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
The ministry said over 1,400 Palestinians were injured by live ammunition and rubber-coated steel bullets used by the Israeli forces during clashes across the West Bank, Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip.
