US EditionIsraeli forces filmed shooting dead two surrendered Palestinians in West Bank
Israeli military commanders are reviewing the shooting amid accusations of extrajudicial killings during raids targeting terror-affiliated suspects in Jenin, where 47 daily Israeli raids occur.
- On Thursday, Israeli soldiers shot and killed two Palestinian men during a raid in Jenin, occupied West Bank, identified by the Palestinian health ministry as Montasir Abdullah, 26, and Yusuf Asasa, 37.
- Army officials say the operation targeted individuals "affiliated with a terror network," and included a several-hour surrender procedure amid intensified northern West Bank raids using attack helicopters and drones.
- Footage from the scene shows forces directing two men back inside a damaged building before shots rang out; the military said engineering tools were used on the structure and fire was directed toward the suspects.
- Military and police said they opened an investigation and commanders reviewed the incident after Israeli forces shot two Palestinians, while Jenin Governor Kamal Abu al-Rub and Palestinian militant group Hamas condemned the killings as an execution.
- The incident adds to a campaign that has displaced about 32,000 residents since January, with Human Rights Watch last week calling forced evictions from Jenin, Tulkarem, and Nur Shams war crimes amid more than 200 demolition orders and twelve buildings slated for demolition.
