The Palestinian Authority accuses Israeli forces of deliberately committing a “war crime” following what it called the “brutal” summary executions of two men in Jenin in the West Bank on Thursday.
The foreign ministry in Ramallah said it “strongly condemns the brutal field execution carried out by the Israeli occupation army against two Palestinian youths,” calling the incident a “deliberate Israeli war crime.”
The IDF and police are investigating an incident today in which Border Police officers shot two Palestinians, who were wanted on suspicion of involvement in bombing and shooting attacks against troops, after the suspects had earlier surrendered themselves.
The officers involved in the incident have reportedly said that the suspects exited a building, surrendering, but then tried to go back into the building, violating the troops’ instructions, and that only then were they shot.
Help us report truthfully on social media
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.
