Footage published by Palestinian media of the killing of a wanted terror operative in the West Bank city of Nablus by undercover Israeli forces in the West Bank last week shows that the man had his hands raised in the air when he was shot.
Rami al-Kakhn, a member of the former Lion’s Den terror group, who Israel says was planning attacks, was killed by undercover Border Police officers on Thursday.
The video published by Palestinian media shows disguised officers opening fire at Kakhn, even as he raises his hands in the air.
A police statement last week said the officers opened fire after identifying Kakhn as armed, something that is unclear in the video. A handgun was recovered from his body, according to police.
ما تكشفه لقطات اغتيال الشاب رامي الكخن في وضح النهار، في قلب مدينة نابلس، يوم الخميس الماضي، لا يترك مجالًا للشك أو التأويل:
لم تكن نية "الاحتلال" تنفيذ اعتقال قانوني.. بل إعدام ميداني بدم بارد!
رفع رامي يديه عاليًا، في لحظة استسلام لا يختلف عليها اثنان..
لم يكن مسلحًا، لم يشكّل… pic.twitter.com/gQuupXX9Se— Khaled Safi ???????? خالد صافي (@KhaledSafi) May 10, 2025
