Video footage has surfaced showing Israeli security forces fatally shooting two Palestinians who seemingly surrendered in the occupied West Bank during a military operation in Jenin. The Palestinian Authority has denounced the killings, labeling them as 'brutal' field executions and a violation of international law. According to the Israeli military, the individuals were linked to a terrorist organization and were targeted as part of a broader initiative to combat violence from armed groups in the region. The Israeli national security minister has expressed support for the actions taken by the forces involved, stating that 'terrorists must die'. The aftermath has led to a heightened tension amid increased violence in the West Bank since the escalation of conflict following the Hamas attacks on Israel in October 2023, which have resulted in casualties on both sides. The United Nations reports over 1,000 Palestinian deaths associated with this conflict, along with 44 Israeli fatalities.
