RAMALLAH, West Bank — Clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian demonstrators erupted in a West Bank refugee camp overnight Monday after Israeli forces arrived to demolish the home of a Palestinian militant, leaving two Palestinians dead.
It was the latest bloodshed in a two-month wave of violence between Israelis and Palestinians.
Amid the unrest, Israel recently renewed a policy of demolishing homes belonging to Palestinians accused in deadly attacks. Israel says the policy deters attacks, but critics say the tactic amounts to collective punishment.
