Israeli occupation forces (IOF) razed on Saturday homes of four Palestinian families in the occupied West Bank.

In Nablus in the northern West Bank, occupation troops destroyed the homes of three Palestinians accused of killing an Israeli settler couple on October 1, the occupation army said.

In Silwad, northeast of Ramallah, IOF razed the home of a Palestinian accused of killing an Israeli on a West Bank road in June, the occupation army added.

The demolitions prompted clashes between Palestinian protesters and the Israeli army in which nine suffered minor injuries, Palestinian medical sources said.

The demolitions came hours after two Israelis were shot dead in an apparent ambush near the flashpoint West Bank city of al-Khalil on Friday in the most serious attack on Israelis in nearly a month.
