Two Palestinians killed by Israeli forces

Two Palestinians have been killed and three injured by Israeli soldiers as violence continues in the occupied territories. <br/><br/>The Wafa news agency quoting medical sources reported that a Palestinian teen from the Gaza Strip was killed yesterday after a live round was fired upon him. <br/><br/>Three others were wounded with one in critical condition, it said. An Israeli military spokeswoman said "violent riots" involving rock-throwing youth erupted at two locations along the Gaza border and some 50 Palestinians were involved. <br/><br/>Soldiers opened fire because the Palestinians posed a threat. In the West Bank village of Iraq Burin, a 16-year-old boy died at a hospital after he was shot by Israeli troops as Palestinians pelted them with stones. <br/> <br/>Meanwhile, strict measures have been imposed on tens of thousands of Palestinians following the killing of an Israeli rabbi in a drive-by shooting in the West Bank this week. Main roads have been closed, villages sealed off, and inspections of Palestinians increased.
