Israeli forces kill two Palestinians in Jerusalem and West Bank

A Palestinian man was shot and killed by Israeli police at the entrance to the al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem, with Palestinian and Israeli sources disputing the circumstances. The incident occurred during Ramadan, which has been largely peaceful in Jerusalem. A large group of Muslim worshippers staged a mass prayer outside the holy site after the incident, and local authorities in the man's native region called for a general strike in response. The incident comes after a violent beginning to the year in Israel and the occupied West Bank, with at least 90 Palestinians and 15 Israelis killed in attacks.
