Khaberni - Channel 12 Hebrew reported on Thursday that the Israeli occupation army announced an investigation into its forces shooting two Palestinians in Jenin, despite them "surrendering and raising their hands without posing any threat to the army forces."
Palestinian media suggest that the incident was an "execution in cold blood" that took place inside the city of Jenin.
This killing comes amidst an escalation of military operations by the occupation army in the cities and camps of the West Bank.
Palestinian reports confirmed that the incident occurred after a tight siege on their location.
Palestinian media indicated that the execution took place in a warehouse in the Jabal Abu Dhahir area in Jenin, which had been completely surrounded by occupation forces.
The army's announcement of an investigation into the incident – and the mention that the Palestinians "surrendered and raised their hands" before the shooting – is an indirect acknowledgment of violating the rules of engagement and international humanitarian law.
This crime, which violated the rights of the surrendered, indicates a continuation of extreme violations in the West Bank.
The Israeli army's opening of an investigation into the incident keeps attention focused on the outcomes of this internal investigation amid Palestinian calls for the intervention of international justice institutions.
