Two Palestinians were killed by Zionist troops Wednesday after infiltrating a West Bank settlement and stabbing a settler

Two Palestinians were killed by Zionist troops Wednesday after infiltrating a West Bank settlement and stabbing a settler, the occupation media outlets reported.

"Forces arrived... (and) shot the attackers resulting in their death," a Zionist army statement said.

Violence in Palestine erupted since a group of Zionist settlers stormed AL-Aqsa compound in occupied al-Quds under the protection of Zionist security forces, killing so far 180 Palestinians.

Few Palestinians of those who were killed have been young people who carried out or tried to carry out stabbing and running over operations, while many other Palestinian martyrs have been shot dead by Zionist security forces during clashes.

The international community has repeatedly called for moves to reduce tensions but Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to step up punitive measures.
