TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Officials say Israeli forces have shot and killed two Palestinians, including an unarmed woman, in confrontations across Israel and the occupied West Bank. It was the latest in a spate of deadly violence during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The Israeli military says soldiers fired toward the woman’s lower body at a West Bank checkpoint after she ignored calls to stop and warning shots fired into the air. Palestinian officials and local news reports say the woman, a 47-year-old mother of six, later died at a hospital.
