The Israeli military said Friday it had killed two suspects it said threw Molotov cocktails in the occupied West Bank village of Judeira overnight.
The Palestinian health ministry identified the dead as two 16-year-old boys.
鈥楲ast night two terrorists were identified as they ignited and threw Molotov cocktails toward a main civilian route,鈥� in Judeira, north of Jerusalem, the military said in a statement.
It added that the military unit deployed in the area 鈥榚liminated鈥� the individuals, a word Israeli officials generally use when suspects are killed.
The army published a surveillance camera video in which two individuals are seen throwing a burning object over a wall matching the appearance of the one separating the area near Judeira from a road used by Israelis.
Though located in the West Bank, which Israel has occupied since 1967, Judeira is surrounded by roads and lands that are effectively annexed by Israel.
The Ramallah-based Palestinian health ministry identified the two individuals as Mohammed Ateem and Mohammed Qasim, both 16.
In a statement, the ministry added that the Israeli army had retrieved the two teenagers鈥� bodies.
On Wednesday, the military killed another teenager who it said had thrown an explosive device at Israeli troops.
In a statement Friday, the military said it had killed three militants and arrested 60 鈥榳anted individuals鈥� this week in the occupied West Bank.
Violence聽in the West Bank has soared since the war in Gaza broke out in October 2023.
At least 1,001 Palestinians, including militants, have been killed in the West Bank by Israeli forces or settlers since the start of the war in Gaza, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
During the same period, 43 Israelis, including soldiers, have been killed in Palestinian attacks in the West Bank, according to official Israeli figures.
Meanwhile, president Donald Trump said Thursday he expects a US-coordinated international stabilisation force to be on the ground in Gaza 鈥榲ery soon,鈥� following two years of war in the territory between Israel and Hamas.
The multinational force 鈥� likely to include troops from Egypt, Qatar, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates 鈥� is part of Trump鈥檚 post-war governance plan for Gaza.
The plan helped lead to a fragile ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian militant group on October 10, but the humanitarian crisis in Gaza has not abated.
鈥業t鈥檚 going to be very soon. And Gaza is working out very well,鈥� Trump said at a White House function with Central Asian leaders.
鈥榊ou haven鈥檛 been hearing too much about problems, and I鈥檒l tell you, we鈥檝e had countries that have volunteered if there鈥檚 a problem with Hamas.鈥�
The force is supposed to train and support vetted Palestinian police in the Gaza Strip, with backing from Egypt and Jordan.
It also will be tasked with securing border areas and preventing weapons smuggling to Hamas, which triggered the conflict with its October 7, 2023 attack on Israel.
On Wednesday, the United States circulated a draft UN Security Council resolution to partner nations aimed at shoring up Trump鈥檚 plan, including by green lighting the international force.
