Two Palestinians were shot dead near Ramallah on Friday after alleged attacks targeting Israeli occupation forces in the occupied West Bank, Israel's army and Palestinian officials said.

A Palestinian was shot and killed near the Zionist Ofra settlement north of Ramallah after ramming his car into a group of Israeli soldiers, wounding two of them.

An hour earlier, a Palestinian man was shot and killed after stabbing an Israeli soldier near the Ramallah-area village of Abud, Palestinian officials said.

The Palestinian Authority Ministry of Health confirmed that a Palestinian man was shot dead by Israeli military forces near the village, which is located adjacent to the Israeli settlement of Halamish.

The man was identified as Abed al-Rahman al-Barghouthi, 27. He died from gunshot wounds to the neck and arm, the ministry added.

The latest incident comes as two Palestinian teenagers were shot dead overnight in Al-Khalil (Hebron) after allegedly stabbing an Israeli soldier in Tel Rumeida.
