Israeli forces killed two Palestinians in separate incidents in the occupied West Bank on Monday, the Palestinian health ministry and Israel's military said.
The military told AFP that a man armed with a knife began running towards soldiers operating near the southern West Bank town of Dura on Monday morning.
"Shortly after the identification, the soldiers opened fire on the terrorist and eliminated him," the military said.
The Ramallah-based Palestinian health ministry identified him as 22-year-old Ramzi al-Awawdeh, who it said was killed "by Israeli gunfire at dawn today in the town of Khursa" near Dura.
In a separate incident later Monday morning, the military said it shot and "neutralised" a man who had accelerated his vehicle towards soldiers deployed near the northern West Bank town of Tulkarem.
Israel's military sometimes uses the word "neutralise" in cases where someone is killed.
The health ministry said that 31-year-old Abdulrahman Abu al-Rub was shot dead by Israeli troops at the Anab checkpoint near Tulkarem.
Violence in the West Bank, a Palestinian territory occupied by Israel since 1967, has surged since the outbreak of Israel's genocidal war on Gaza.
According to an AFP tally based on figures from the Palestinian health ministry, at least 1,056 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli soldiers or settlers in the West Bank since the start of the Gaza war.
