JERUSALEM (AP) — Two Palestinian men were killed by Israeli gunfire during an army raid in the West Bank, the Palestinian health ministry says. The Israeli military said Thursday that its troops carried out a raid in the Tulkarem refugee camp in the early morning hours. It said that soldiers came under fire and that troops shot Palestinian gunmen. Five border police officers were wounded in the clashes, it said. The incident was the latest in a spiral of violence that has gripped the occupied territory for more than 18 months.
