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 US military said on Monday it conducted an airstrike in Syria that killed two ISIS operatives and wounded one.

ISIS operatives were moving a truckload of weapons in Deir Ezzor Province, when they were targeted with the airstrike, US Central Command said in a statement on social media platform X.

Central Command said the area was formerly controlled by ex-President Bashar Assad’s regime and its Russian supporters.

Assad fled to Moscow after opposition forces seized control of Damascus earlier this month.
