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.

Northern Gaza has been under “a near-total brutal siege” for the past month and Palestinian civilians are starving while the world watches, the acting United Nations humanitarian chief said Tuesday.

Joyce Msuya said in a post on X that Israeli military ground operations have left Palestinians without the essentials to survive, forced them to flee for safety multiple times, and cut off their escape and supply routes.

“These atrocities must stop,” she said.

UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric told reporters that the humanitarian coordinator for the Palestinian territories, Muhannad Hadi, visited the Al Moumanya school in Gaza City on Tuesday.

The school was run by the UN agency helping Palestinian refugees known as UNRWA and is now sheltering hundreds of families, most of whom fled the north.

Hadi told UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres that conditions in the school “are unbearable,” saying families lack food, water and functioning toilets and are crammed into very overcrowded facilities, the UN spokesperson said.

Hadi told the UN chief that “sewage at the school is running everywhere, and waste is everywhere,” Dujarric said.
