In a recent incident that has captured international attention, Israeli security forces shot two Palestinian men in Jenin, West Bank, during a raid. Footage showed the men allegedly surrendering before being directed back inside a building and shot, raising questions over the nature of their deaths.

The men, Montasir Abdullah, 26, and Yusuf Asasa, 37, were involved in a wider Israeli operation targeting individuals accused of terror activities. Despite being wanted, the men were identified as surrendering before the shooting occurred, leading to accusations from local officials of execution.

While the Israeli military announced an investigation into the incident, doubt lingers about the authenticity of this probe. Palestinian militant group Hamas condemned the act, labeling it execution, and called for international intervention amid ongoing Israeli operations in northern West Bank cities.
