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.

Israel has instructed its diplomatic missions in Europe to try to get the Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen designated as a terrorist organization.

"The Houthis pose a threat not only to Israel but also to the region and the entire world. The first and most basic thing to do is to designate them as a terrorist organization," Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar said in a statement.

The Houthis have repeatedly fired drones and missiles towards Israel in what the group describes as acts of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.

The Israeli military said on Tuesday it intercepted a projectile launched from Yemen. It was the third time in a week that fire from Yemen set off sirens in Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told lawmakers on Monday that he had ordered the country's military to destroy the Houthi infrastructure in Yemen.
