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.

The Israeli military said on Tuesday that it intercepted a drone that entered Israeli territory from the east after sirens sounded in the Arava area, a valley that stretches from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Eilat.

Another drone that approached Israel from the east was also intercepted before crossing to Israeli territory, the military said. It said no injuries were reported.

Sirens earlier sounded in the Red Sea port city of Eilat.

The “Islamic Resistance” in Iraq said in a statement that it targeted a "vital target" in Eilat with drones.

The Iraqi pro-Iran group has been launching attacks on Israel since the start of Israel's war in Gaza.
