"He said Israeli forces and settlers have killed at least 1,030 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, between October 7, 2023 and November 27 of this year, according to the latest UN data. That figure includes at least 223 Palestinian children. Impunity for Israel security forces' unlawful use of force and ever-growing Israeli settler violence must end, Laurence said."
"Israel has faced widespread condemnation since footage from Jenin on Thursday showed its forces shooting two unarmed Palestinian men at close range as they attempted to surrender to the military during a raid. Witnesses said the men later identified as Al-Muntasir Billah Abdullah, 26, and Youssef Asasa, 37 had raised their shirts to indicate they were unarmed before Israeli forces ordered them back into a building that they had been holed up in. They were then shot dead by the Israeli army, the footage showed."
The killing in Jenin was captured on camera and condemned as an apparent summary execution. Footage shows two unarmed Palestinian men raising their shirts to indicate they were unarmed and attempting to surrender before being ordered back into a building and shot dead. Human rights groups describe evidence and footage as showing the men posed no threat and characterize the incident as part of a widespread, systematic policy of extrajudicial and wilful killings. UN data records at least 1,030 Palestinians killed in the West Bank since October 7, 2023, including 223 children, amid calls to end impunity.
