Mourners buried two Palestinian teens on Friday (November 21) who were killed by Israeli forces near Ramallah in the Israeli occupied West Bank.

The two Palestinian teenagers were killed during an overnight raid on a town near Ramallah in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, residents said, as violence surges in the territory with a growing number of dead.

Forces shot Sami Ibrahim Mashaikha, 16, and Amr Khaled Al-Marboua, 18, in Kfar Aqab and both later died of their wounds, according to the health ministry in the Palestinian Authority that exercises limited self-rule in the West Bank.

The Palestinian WAFA news agency reported that Israeli forces had raided Kfar Aqab overnight, deploying forces to the streets and on top of the town's buildings before opening fire.

Asked for comment, the Israeli military deferred to the Israel Border Police, a unit of Israel's national police, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

While an October 10 ceasefire has largely ended the war in Gaza between Israel and Palestinian Hamas militants, the West Bank is experiencing increasing violence.

Palestinians have faced tightening military restrictions over the past two years, curbing their freedom of movement. Attacks on Palestinians by Israeli settlers have also escalated.
