Israeli military’s ‘execution’ killings of two Palestinian civilians prompts investigation

Israel’s military police are investigating the killing of two Palestinians in the occupied West Bank after a human rights group posted a video that captures the apparent “executions” of the two men by Israeli forces, according to the Associated Press news agency.

Israel’s B’Tselem human rights group accused soldiers of carrying out a pair of “illegal executions” after security camera video footage showed two Israeli military vehicles pursuing a group of Palestinians in the Faraa refugee camp near the town of Tubas.

One man, who B’Tselem identified as 25-year-old Rami Jundob, is gunned down. An Israeli military jeep then pulls up near Jundob as he lies bleeding on the ground and a soldier inside fires multiple shots at the stricken man until he stops moving on the ground.

Israeli soldiers then approach a man identified by B’Tselem as Thaar Shahin, 36, as he cowers underneath a nearby car, and they shoot him dead at close range.
