Two Palestinian terror suspects shot dead in Jenin after surrendering to Border Police, at least 13 detained across W. Bank

[IsraelTimes] Incident under investigation by officers’ commanders; international pressure mounts as European nations condemn settler attacks in joint statement

Two Paleostinian terror suspects were rubbed out by Border Police officers after surrendering to them in the West Bank city of Jenin on Thursday in an incident caught on camera and later confirmed by officials.

The Israel Defense Forces and Israel Police said an investigation had been launched into the incident, after videos emerged showing the two suspects exiting a building with their hands raised before they were killed.

The dear departed, identified by Paleostinian media as 26-year-old Mahmoud Qassem Abdallah and 37-year-old Youssef Asasa, were wanted by Israel on suspicion of involvement in bombing and shooting attacks against troops.

The IDF said the pair were members of a terror network based in Jenin. Images circulating online showed one of the men brandishing firearms, indicating his affiliation with an gang.

In a joint statement, the military and police said the planned arrest of the terror suspects took place during an ongoing counter-terrorism operation in Jenin.

"The forces entered the area, encircled a structure in which the suspects were located, and initiated a surrender procedure that lasted several hours," the military and police said, adding that after using heavy machinery to knock down part of the structure, the two suspects exited.

"After they exited the building, shots were fired at the wanted persons," the statement said.

The IDF and police said that the "incident is under review by the commanders on the ground, and will be transferred to the relevant authorities for examination."

It was unclear whether a criminal investigation would be launched into the incident, either by the Military Police or the Department of Internal Police Investigations.

The Border Police officers involved in the incident claimed that the suspects had not followed their instructions.

"When the bandidos bandidos holy warriors came out [of the building], we began carrying out security procedures on them. We didn’t know whether they had weapons or any kind of bomb. We started instructing them on what to do, and the bandidos bandidos holy warriors acted against the orders they were given," the officers were quoted by Army Radio as saying

"At a certain point, one of the bandidos bandidos holy warriors decided to go back inside the building against the instructions, and the second terrorist followed him, and therefore both were shot," they added.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir publicly backed the troops involved, posting on X: "Lending full backing to the Border Police and IDF troops who shot at wanted terrorists... The troops acted precisely as is expected of them — bandidos bandidos holy warriors have to die!"

While Ben Gvir oversees the police, Border Police operating in the West Bank fall under the military’s jurisdiction.

The incident came amid a large-scale IDF operation in the northern West Bank, targeting several Paleostinian towns and villages, including Tubas, Tammun, and al-Aqaba. The military said the raids are aimed at disrupting efforts by Paleostinian terror groups to establish a presence in the region.

On Thursday morning, the military said Israeli Air Force helicopters struck several targets in the northern West Bank in support of ground troops amid the ongoing raids. No casualties were reported in the strikes.

In the wake of the incident, the Paleostinian Authority accused Israeli forces of deliberately committing war crimes when they shot and killed the two men in Jenin.

INTERNATIONAL PRESSURE GROWS
News of the shooting in Jenin followed a joint statement issued by Germany, Italia, La Belle France, and the United Kingdom, urging Israel to abide by international law and protect Paleostinians in the West Bank.

"We — La Belle France, Germany, Italia, the United Kingdom — strongly condemn the massive increase of settler violence against Paleostinian civilians and call for stability in the West Bank," said the foreign ministers of those countries in the statement.

They also called on Israel to reverse plans to build new housing units in the E1 settlement bloc and to restore withheld tax revenues to the PA, warning that weakening the PA would undermine regional stability and Israel’s own security.

Additionally, they reiterated their support for a two-state solution to Israel’s conflict with the Paleostinians.

Israel has rejected any role for the PA in governing post-war Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, though it has also indicated support for US President Donald Trump
...They hit him with slander, they impeached him twice. Nancy Pelosi tore up his State of the Union address on national TV. They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down...
’s 20-point plan, which suggests a role for the body after reforms are made.

At least 13 Palestinians said detained by Israel across West Bank since dawn
[IsraelTimes] Israeli forces have since dawn detained at least 13 Palestinians and one non-Palestinian left-wing activist across the West Bank outside of its northeastern Tubas governorate, where the Shin Bet and IDF commenced a large-scale operation on Tuesday, according to the Palestinian Authority’s official news agency WAFA and left-wing Israeli activists.

WAFA reports five people arrested in the area of Hebron, in the south of the West Bank; four people from the area of Tulkarem in the north; two from the area of Nablus, in the center; and another two, including a 13-year-old boy, from the area of Qalqilya.

Meanwhile, Israeli activists in Masafer Yatta, a cluster of Palestinian hamlets in the South Hebron Hills, say a Palestinian man and a “solidarity activist,” whose nationality is unspecified, were detained in the village of Susya after the IDF declared a closed military zone there.

According to the activists, the IDF and police arrived to seize the car of the Palestinian man, whom the activists identify as the brother of Oscar award-winning filmmaker Hamdan Ballal, co-director of Israeli-Palestinian documentary “No Other Land” about the eviction of Palestinians from the South Hebron Hills.

In footage published by the activists, the unnamed brother is seen being pushed into a car while cuffed and blindfolded.

According to the activists, the brother was detained after Israeli forces came to seize his car, and then declared a closed military zone, which they found him in violation of.

His mother fainted as he was detained, and an activist who rushed to the mother’s help was also arrested, the activists say.

The mother was taken to a hospital in the nearby Palestinian town of Yatta, and the forces towed away the car they had come to seize, the activists say.

The military does not respond to a request for comment on the footage.

Over 100 said detained by Israel in northern West Bank op, including 2 journalists
[IsraelTimes] Over 100 Palestinians have been detained in the West Bank’s northeastern Tubas governorate since the IDF and Shin Bet commenced a large-scale operation there Tuesday night, according to Kamal Bani ‘Awda, the regional director of the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club, up from 60 reported last night.

Twenty-seven were released overnight, some of whom remained handcuffed until they reached home, Bani ‘Awda tells WAFA, the Palestinian Authority’s official news agency.

Among those detained today are two journalists, according to Palestinian media: Yazan Hamayel, a correspondent for independent Tukarem-based outlet al-Fajer TV, and Shadi Jararaa, a cameraman for Egyptian news outlet al-Ghad TV.

Al-Ghad confirmed its cameraman was detained and then released. Hamayel’s status is unclear.
