Israeli army claims unarmed brothers killed in Nablus were ‘terrorists’
The Israeli military says “two terrorists were eliminated and 10 wanted individuals were arrested” during its largest raid on Nablus in the occupied West Bank in two years, lasting 30 hours.
However, images and footage from the scene of the killing showed how Israeli soldiers attacked and shot down two unarmed brothers who approached to go to their house to move their family out and away from the Israeli raid.
In a statement, the Israeli army also said its soldiers searched more than 400 buildings, interrogated dozens of people in the field, and found makeshift weapons and equipment along with ammunition.

Israeli military bulldozers enter Jenin camp to carry out demolitions
Bulldozers have been deployed to the Jenin refugee camp as the Israeli military pushes on with a large-scale demolition campaign in the area.
Footage published by the Palestinian Information Center showed bulldozers accompanied by Israeli military vehicles heading towards Jenin camp early on Thursday morning.
The Israeli military operation in the Jenin Governorate has now continued for 140 days.
During this time, it has resulted in the deaths of more than 40 Palestinians and injured dozens. The occupation forces have also displaced thousands of residents and completely demolished more than 600 homes in the Jenin area, a hotbed of Palestinian resistance.
On June 6, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced an “escalation plan” in the occupied West Bank should France and other European countries persist in pushing for recognition of a Palestinian state.
