Two Palestinian and one Nazi soldier were killed during an exchange of gunfire near the village of Jalama, north of Jenin, in the northern part of the Nazi occupied West Bank.
The two Palestinians have been identified as Ahmad Ayman Ibrahim ‘Aabed, 23, and Abdul-Rahman Hani Sobhi ‘Aabed, 22, from Kafr Dan town, northwest of Jenin.
The Nazi media reported that the Palestinians began shooting at the soldiers, who returned fire, resulting in the two Palestinians killed and one Nazi soldier.
The two Palestinians have been identified as Ahmad Ayman Ibrahim ‘Aabed, 23, and Abdul-Rahman Hani Sobhi ‘Aabed, 22, from Kafr Dan town, northwest of Jenin.
Palestine TV said Ahmad, a graduate of the Istiqlal University, worked with the Palestinian Military Intelligence service.
Nazi sources said the slain soldier have been identified as deputy commander of the Nahal Reconnaissance Battalion Maj. Bar Pelach, 30.
The army phoned their families, ordering them to come to the roadblock to identify their corpses, but refused to release them to their families.

The army also closed the roadblock and said it would remain blockaded until Friday.
Abdul-Rahman’s father said a senior army officer ordered him to head to the roadblock and detained him for about an hour before showing him mobile phone pictures of his slain son and Ahmad after they were shot dead.
The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the armed wing of the Fateh party, claimed responsibility for the attack.
Palestinian factions in Jenin declared a general strike to mourn the slain Palestinians.
Amjad Abu Farha, the head of Al-Jalama Village Council, said several Nazi army jeeps and bulldozers invaded the village and demolished a cement wall where the two young men were killed. The demolished wall is on land owned by Morad Saleh Abu Farha.
A spokesperson for the Hamas party, Hazem Qasem, reportedly said, “As of today, the heroes of Jenin ignore all the empty threats of the occupation against the cities of the West Bank and do not pay attention to the Israeli attempts to intimidate the resistance.
“The martyrs of Jenin this morning are fueling another revolution and escalation of the struggle against the occupation and their blood is the tax of triumph and liberation. This revolution will continue to escalate across all West Bank cities in defense of the al-Aqsa Mosque, in response to the occupation’s crimes, and on the path to liberation of the land, the people, and the martyrs.”
Following the fatal shooting, the Nazi cabinet convened a special session to discuss the “increasing number of Palestinian attacks’” this month.
The killing of the two young brings the number of slain Palestinians, killed by the Nazi occupation army this month to ten, in addition to one a political prisoner who died at an Israeli medical canter.
