The men opened fire on an Israeli military post west of Nablus on Sunday evening, the army said. Soldiers then returned fire with live ammunition. An army spokesman confirmed that the Palestinians were killed.
Another gunman surrendered and was arrested, the army statement said. The soldiers recovered three rifles, a pistol and ammunition from the attackers.
The situation in Israel and the Palestinian territories has been very tense for a long time. Since the beginning of the year, 13 Israelis and a Ukrainian have been killed in Palestinian attacks. In the same period, 81 Palestinians lost their lives, for example in confrontations with the Israeli army or in their own attacks. There are fears of a further escalation of violence during the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan, which starts in ten days. (sda/dpa)
