Two Palestinians ages 17 and 18 were martyred Wednesday by "Israeli" fire and another was wounded near the Einav settlement in the West Bank.

In details, "Israeli" soldiers shot the Palestinians near a checkpoint in the Tulkarem area of the occupied West Bank.
Soldiers in the area opened fire at Amer Nassar, 17, killing him instantly in what "Israel" claimed was a response to a Palestinian firebombing targeting a military post. The other young man, Najo Bilbisi,18, was also martyred on the spot.

Nearly 1,000 people turned out on the streets of Tulkarem in the aftermath. Mourners carried the youth's body as the crowd chanted slogans condemning the attack.
The incident came as clashes broke out in the West Bank -particularly al-Khalil- between "Israeli" soldiers and Palestinians protesting over the death of Palestinian prisoner in "Israeli" jails, Maisara Abu Hamdiyeh.

The martyr was diagnosed with throat cancer and died after serving 10 years of his sentence due to torture and the lack of medical care
Earlier in the day, "Israeli" military fired tear gas to Palestinian demonstrators in the southern West Bank city of al-Khalil and the town of Beit Ummar.
Clashes also spread to areas around the "Israeli"-operated Ofer prison located near the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah, where "Israeli" troops tried to scatter the gathering.

Meanwhile, people observed a general strike across the Palestinian lands to mourn the death Hamdiah.
