National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir posts on X: “Lending full backing to the Border Police and IDF troops who shot at wanted terrorists who were coming out of a building in Jenin. The troops acted precisely as is expected of them — terrorists have to die!”
The post comes after IDF and Border Police said they are investigating an incident in which troops appeared to execute two Palestinians, wanted on suspicion of involvement in bombing and shooting attacks against troops, after the suspects had already surrendered themselves.
The footage appeared to show the two men exiting a building, surrendering to troops, and then being shot at short range.
As national security minister, far-right Ben Gvir has authority over the police, however it does not apply to Border Police officers operating in the West Bank, which fall under the purview of the military

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
