Israeli army kills 2 Palestinians after troops enter West Bank village

As Israel expands its near-daily raids into the West Bank, more and more Palestinians are dying. Omar Khumour was just a boy, but even that did not save him from being murdered in cold blood by Israel's war machine. Last year was the most deadly twelve months for Palestinians since the Second Intifada, in which Israel brutally cracked down on Palestinian resistance to occupation. The international community cannot allow Israel to continue carrying out these crimes.
Though it is tragic when innocent bystanders, particularly children, are killed, the fault for such losses ultimately falls on Palestinian militancy and terrorism, which has survived through its use of the civilian population as a shield. Most of those killed in the last year have been terrorists and had to be neutralized so Israeli forces could keep civilians safe. Indeed, the only reason raids in the West Bank have expanded over the last year is due to Palestinian terrorism in Israel.
