Israeli Forces Kill Two Palestinian Men at Point-Blank Range in Jenin

Jenin: Israeli occupation forces on Thursday evening shot and killed two young Palestinian men from point-blank range in the Jabal Abu Dhahir neighborhood of Jenin, and withheld their bodies. The Ministry of Health confirmed that Al-Muntasir Billah Mahmoud Qassem Abdullah, 26, and Yousef Ali Yousef Asa'asa, 37, were the victims of the fatal shooting.

According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, video footage circulated on social media and reported by media outlets showed Israeli forces opening fire at the two young men from point-blank range after searching them as they exited a commercial storage facility. Local sources revealed that an undercover Israeli force had stormed the neighborhood and raided a house, prompting military reinforcements to head to the area near the Jenin refugee camp.

A WAFA correspondent reported that Israeli forces, including undercover units, besieged a house and opened live fire at it, with heavy aerial fire support from warplanes. An occupation military bulldozer was used to demolish the main storage door of the house, forcing the two young men to exit before they were killed at point-blank range.
