"Israeli security forces killed two Palestinian men in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, reportedly after they had surrendered. The Palestinian Authority said the two men aged 26 and 37 were killed in "the brutal field execution carried out by the Israeli occupation army" and condemned the incident as a "war crime." Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said he "fully supports" the Israeli troops who shot two "wanted terrorists.""
"Footage on social media and broadcast by television channels, including Israeli ones, purportedly shows the unarmed men exiting a building in Jenin, lifting their shirts and lying down in apparent surrender, before Israeli forces reportedly directed them back inside and opened fire at close range. The Israeli military and police said the incident is under investigation, but gave no reason for the shooting. But Gvir wrote on social media, "The forces acted exactly as expected of them terrorists must die!""
