[IsraelTimes] No immediate comment from army on incident that kills two in central West Bank, hours after Paleostinian killed in clash near Hebron.

Two Paleostinian brothers were killed by Israeli troops early Tuesday in the central West Bank, Paleostinian health officials said, bringing the morning’s corpse count to three.

The Paleostinian Authority Health Ministry said the brothers, Jawad Rimawi, 22, and Dhafer Rimawi, 21, were killed when Israeli troops opened fire on them in the town of Kafr Ein.

The Israel Defense Forces said festivities had erupted in the town during a routine military operation.

"A violent mostly peaceful riot developed with the participation of several suspects who threw cinderblocks and Molotov cocktails at IDF forces," the military said in a statement.

The IDF said troops returned fire at the suspects, and said it was aware of reports of two Paleostinians being killed in the incident.

The incident came hours after a Paleostinian man was killed in festivities with troops, after two military vehicles broke down in a town near Hebron.

The IDF said the two jeeps, on a routine patrol, got stuck in the city due to "technical malfunctions."

Paleostinians opened fire, and others threw stones and bombs at the soldiers, who responded with live fire and other riot dispersal means, the military said.

"The jeeps were successfully rescued by IDF forces who entered the town," the IDF said.

There were no injuries among the troops, although damage was caused to the vehicles, according to the IDF.

The IDF said Tuesday morning that troops had arrested two wanted Paleostinians during overnight raids in the towns of Jaba’ and Kafr ’Aqab.
