Israeli forces shelled Aqbat Jaber refugee camp near Jericho with LAW missiles and tank shells on Sunday evening, Palestinian sources said. 

They added that the Palestinians retaliated by opening fire at the nearby settlements. 

On Saturday, two Palestinians were killed under Israeli tank and heavy machineguns attacks on the town of Beireh, near Ramallah in the West Bank. 

Meanwhile, fire exchange erupted at Jalazon camp in Ramallah near the Israeli settlement of Beit Eil. Similar battles were taking place at Mghayyer and Qarawat Bani Zeid in the area. 

No reports on casualties have been available so far.
