Israeli forces killed two Palestinian teenagers 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.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have revealed the discovery of a vast underground tunnel system in Rafah, which was used by Hamas during years of conflict in the Gaza Strip. The military says this structure was also the location where the body of Lieutenant Hadar Goldin was secretly held following his death in the 2014 war.

Israel sets up base-defense force under Wing 7 alongside Shaldag and Unit 669, with rapid helicopter response and upgraded perimeter systems.
