Israeli forces kill two Palestinians in West Bank

Israeli forces killed two Palestinian men, al Muntasir Abdullah, 26, and Yousef Asasa, 37, in Jenin after they appeared to surrender, raising accusations of “cold-blooded” execution. Footage showed the men exiting a building with their hands raised, but they were shot despite attempts to comply with orders. The Israeli military justified the action, claiming the men were affiliated with terrorist activities, while Palestinians condemned it as an extrajudicial killing. Human rights groups report a significant rise in violence against Palestinians following the October 7 Hamas attack, with over 1,000 killed since.
