Israeli forces recently killed two Palestinian men in the occupied West Bank, prompting accusations of “cold-blooded” execution. The Israeli military is investigating the incident, which was captured on video showing the men, who appeared to have surrendered, being shot while surrounded by troops. The military claims the men were militants involved in attacks on soldiers. This incident highlights ongoing violence and military operations in the West Bank, where Israel has increased its presence over the past two years amid accusations of excessive force against Palestinians.
Palestinian leaders condemned the shootings as extrajudicial killings, while Israel’s Minister of National Security supported the military’s actions. The Israeli military has intensified operations in response to recent violence, including attacks from both Palestinians and Israeli settlers.
In a related event, a Palestinian-American teenager, Mohamed Ibrahim, was released from Israeli detention after nine months, reportedly under poor conditions, drawing attention to the treatment of detainees. Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon continue, raising concerns about regional stability as the country prepares for an upcoming visit from Pope Leo XIV.
