Israeli Forces Carry Out Killings of Two Palestinians Who Appeared to Be Surrendering in Occupied West Bank
Graphic images have emerged from the Occupied West Bank, showing two Palestinian men being shot and killed by Israeli soldiers. The Palestinian Authority has condemned the incident as a "war crime", while Israeli authorities claim they are investigating the circumstances surrounding the deaths.
Eyewitness accounts suggest that the two Palestinians were seen raising their hands in a gesture of surrender before they were shot by Israeli forces. However, Israel's military statement on the matter is less clear-cut. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have refused to comment on whether or not the men were indeed surrendering when they were killed.
Despite the conflicting accounts, it is clear that the Palestinian Authority has expressed outrage over the killings. In a statement, the Palestinian Authority called for an immediate investigation into the incident, citing international law and the Geneva Conventions.
The Israeli government has yet to issue any official response to the claims of war crimes. However, an investigation into the matter is reportedly underway.
