At least two Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli military operation in the West Bank city of Hebron. The deaths occurred in a house in the Old City of Hebron following an early morning raid today. The Israeli army confirmed the killings, saying that they were wanted in connection with the fatal shooting of four Jewish settlers on 31 August. Media reports quoting eyewitnesses have reported that there are also reports of several injuries and several people having been detained. The Hamas military wing has called this a murderous attack and has vowed revenge.
