The United Nations described the killings as apparent summary executions amid a spike in West Bank violence; Israel opened an investigation while political leaders backed the forces.
- 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.

- 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.
