ISRAELI forces have killed two Palestinians who allegedly carried out a deadly attack on a bus in the occupied West Bank earlier this month.
Military chiefs said today that the two men barricaded themselves in a structure in the West Bank village of Burqin and exchanged fire with Israeli troops before they were killed overnight.
They said that Mohammed Nazzal and Katiba al-Shalabi were operatives with the Islamic Jihad militant group.
