Two Palestinians were killed in an Israeli raid in the occupied West Bank on Saturday, the Palestinian health ministry and the Israeli military said.

The military said it conducted a raid to apprehend individuals suspected of carrying out a shooting attack against Israelis earlier this week.

"The two gunmen were shot and killed after attempting to flee the scene," a statement from the Israeli military said.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said both men were 22 years old and died of bullet wounds to their chest, neck and abdomen.

The incident came after an exchange of cross-border strikes between Israel and Gaza this week.

Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi told the World Economic Forum in Davos on Thursday that his country could not afford another war in the neighboring Israeli-occupied Palestinian West Bank, according to Reuters.

The Israeli military launched an operation in Jenin on Tuesday.

The offensive came one day after the inauguration of US President Donald Trump and just days after a ceasefire deal paused fighting between the Jewish state and the Hamas movement in the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli assault has killed at least 10 Palestinians and injured 40 more, according to the Ramallah-based Palestinian health ministry.
