"In the footage, the men are seen exiting a building surrounded by armed Israeli forces in the northern West Bank city of Jenin, lifting their shirts and lying on the ground in an apparent surrender. A Reuters journalist in the vicinity saw the men leave the building, appearing to surrender,"
"The Israeli military and Israel Police issued a joint statement announcing that they had opened an investigation after forces opened fire towards suspects who had exited a building. The statement did not give any reason for why the forces opened fire, nor say that the two men had lain on the ground before they were directed back inside the building and shot."
Footage shows two men exiting a building in Jenin surrounded by armed Israeli forces, lifting their shirts and lying on the ground in apparent surrender. Forces then appeared to direct the men back inside the building before opening fire at close range. A Reuters journalist near the scene saw the men leave appearing to surrender and later heard shots, then saw Israeli forces standing near what appeared to be a lifeless body. The Palestinian health ministry identified the dead as 26-year-old Montasir Abdullah and 37-year-old Yusuf Asasa. Israeli military and police opened an investigation but provided no reason for the firing or details of evidence linking the men to a terror network. Jenin’s governor called the killings a cold-blooded execution and urged accountability.
