Israeli occupation forces shot and killed two Palestinian youths from point-blank range in the Jabal Abu Dhahir neighborhood of Jenin, and they continue to withhold their bodies, according to Palestinian authorities.
The Ministry of Health identified the martyrs as Al-Muntasir Billah Mahmoud Qassem Abdullah, 26, and Yousef Ali Yousef Asa’asa, 37.
Video footage shared on social media and covered by media outlets showed Israeli occupation forces opening fire on the two men at close range after searching them as they exited a commercial storage facility.

The youths were clearly unarmed as they exited the facility, putting their hands in the air, thus posing no threat to the forces. Local sources said that an undercover Israeli unit had stormed the neighborhood and raided a house, followed by reinforcements in the area near the Jenin refugee camp.
WAFA correspondents reported that Israeli forces, including undercover units, besieged a house and opened live fire, supplemented by heavy aerial fire from military aircraft. An Israeli military bulldozer reportedly demolished the main storage door, forcing the two young men out, before they were shot at point-blank range.
Hamas condemns killings, calls for unified response
Hamas condemned the killings, describing the two men as unarmed and accusing Israeli forces of executing them “in cold blood” despite posing no threat. The group said the incident reflects a long-standing pattern of Israeli actions demonstrating “complete disregard for Palestinian life” and operating outside international norms.
In a statement, Hamas framed the killings as part of a broader “systematic policy” aimed at the “extermination and liquidation” of Palestinians in the West Bank, particularly in the context of what it claims are Israeli efforts to consolidate "annexation" and forcible displacement.
The movement emphasized that ongoing Israeli military operations, especially in northern West Bank areas, highlight that armed resistance remains “a natural and legitimate response” to what it describes as escalating aggression.
Hamas urged Palestinians across political and social sectors to organize a “comprehensive and coordinated” response, arguing that collective action is the most effective way to counter Israeli policies.
The Resistance movement also called on international bodies, legal institutions, and human rights organizations to intervene, warning that what it calls “field executions” have become an open and unaccountable practice by Israeli occupation forces.
PA accuses 'Israel' of 'war crime'
On its part, the Palestinian Authority accused Israeli occupation forces of deliberately committing a "war crime" following what it called the "brutal" summary executions of two men in Jenin in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on Thursday.
The Foreign Ministry in Ramallah said it "strongly condemns the brutal field execution carried out by the Israeli occupation army against two Palestinian youths," calling the incident a "deliberate Israeli war crime."
Wider context
The execution comes amid a surge in settler and IOF aggression across the occupied West Bank, coinciding with the advancement of legislation in the Israeli Knesset to impose Israeli "sovereignty" over large parts of the territory.
Since the war on Gaza began two years ago, Israeli occupation forces and settlers have killed more than 1,000 Palestinians in the West Bank, injured over 10,000, and arrested more than 20,000, including 1,600 children, according to Palestinian authorities. Overnight raids, arbitrary detentions, and land seizures have intensified in towns such as al-Khalil, al-Bireh, and Burqa, while new military checkpoints and settlement outposts tighten the occupation’s grip over the territory.
At the political level, the Israeli Knesset passed a preliminary bill on October 22 to apply "sovereignty" over the West Bank, alongside another measure to annex the settlement of Ma’ale Adumim near occupied al-Quds. Israeli ministers hailed the votes as "historic", calling for full control over "Judea and Samaria," despite international condemnation and US warnings.
In July, the International Court of Justice ruled that "Israel’s" occupation of Palestinian territory is illegal under international law and demanded the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and the eastern part of occupied al-Quds. Yet occupation authorities continue to defy the ruling, entrenching their colonial presence through systematic settlement expansion, land theft, and daily assaults, policies aimed at erasing Palestinian existence on their own land.
