On Sunday, Israeli soldiers shot and killed two Palestinians at Beit Einun Junction, near Hebron, in the occupied West Bank. The incident occurred when two men arrived at the junction, with one of them attempting to stab IDF soldiers in the area. The soldiers responded with live fire, neutralizing the attacker. Subsequently, the second man opened fire at the soldiers, prompting them to respond with live fire and neutralize him as well.
The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the deceased as 19-year-old Muhammad Jabarin and 18-year-old Musa Jabarin. A video circulating online, though unverified, shows one man taking cover behind a concrete block commonly used by the Israeli military at checkpoints and junctions. The video does not clearly show if the man was armed, but after a brief moment, gunshots are heard, and the man falls to the ground.
Violence in the occupied West Bank has escalated during Israel's conflict in Gaza, with incidents involving Israeli settlers and troops on the rise. The situation remains tense in the region as such incidents continue to occur.
