RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) - Two Palestinians were killed by Israeli army fire in the occupied West Bank on Saturday, according to the Health Ministry.

Palestinian group Hamas mourned the two, saying there were members of its armed wing, the Qassam Brigades.

At least 108 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since the start of this year, according to Palestinian figures.

Nineteen Israelis have also been killed in separate attacks during the same period.
