US EditionIsraeli forces filmed shooting dead two surrendered Palestinians in West Bank
The Israeli military is reviewing the shooting of two Palestinians during a raid amid a months-long crackdown; over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since October, the UN said.
- On Thursday in Jenin, Israeli soldiers shot dead two Palestinian men who appeared to be surrendering, and the Israel Defense Forces and Israel Police opened an investigation.
- The Israeli military said forces aimed to arrest wanted individuals, initiating a surrender procedure that lasted several hours during a campaign involving over 220 sites in the northern West Bank.
- Al Jazeera's Nour Odeh and others reported the two men emerged with hands raised, lifted shirts to show they were unarmed, then were shot; Palestinian authorities named them Al-Muntasir Mahmoud Qassem Abdullah, 26, and Youssef Ali Youssef Asasa, 37.
- The Palestinian Authority foreign ministry condemned the killings as a 'brutal field execution' and a 'war crime', while Itamar Ben Gvir, Israel's National Security Minister, backed the troops involved.
- The killings come amid a wider surge of West Bank raids and displacements, with more than 1,000 Palestinians killed and about 32,000 residents displaced in the northern West Bank since January.
