Human rights sources reported that Israeli occupation forces carried out two field executions against two young Palestinian men during arrest and raid operations in the Jenin and Salfit governorates in the northern West Bank over the past twenty-four hours. The Palestinian Prisoners' Club confirmed that the occupation army directly targeted the young man, Muhammad Nazem Zaid (29 years old), with live bullets after besieging a house in the town of Al-Yamoun, before seizing his body and preventing medical teams from reaching him.
In the Salfit governorate, occupation forces stormed the home of the young man, Mustafa Taha Al-Khatib (32 years old), in the town of Sarata, where they shot him at point-blank range in front of his family, leading to his immediate martyrdom. Sources stated that the occupation soldiers caused widespread destruction in the house and smashed its contents before withdrawing, leaving the martyr's body inside the house after confirming his death, in a scene that reflects the brutality of dealing with civilians during night raids.
The Prisoners' Club considered these crimes not isolated incidents, but rather part of a systematic policy of field executions that has escalated unprecedentedly since the start of the genocide war in October 2023. The club clarified that there is documented evidence and incidents, including traces of restraints on the limbs of some martyrs, proving that occupation soldiers physically liquidated detainees after gaining control over them, which constitutes a blatant violation of international and humanitarian laws.
In a related context, occupation forces continued their frantic arrest campaigns in various West Bank cities, where 16 citizens were arrested on Thursday morning, including three children and a member of the Huwara municipal council. These arrests come amid harsh conditions faced by prisoners, as the number of martyrs of the prisoner movement whose identities have been identified has risen to 90 martyrs since the beginning of the aggression, as a result of systematic torture, starvation, and deliberate medical neglect inside prisons and camps.
On the Gaza Strip front, Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement continued, as a Palestinian was martyred by the bullets of the occupation army in the Al-Atatra area of Beit Lahia town in the northern Strip. The martyr's body was transferred to Al-Shifa Medical Complex, bringing the number of occupation violations since last October to more than a thousand martyrs and thousands of wounded, amid the continued Israeli military control over large areas of the Strip and the tightening of the noose on the population.
Statistical data indicates that the number of prisoners in occupation prisons has reached about 9,400 prisoners, including more than 3,300 administrative detainees held without charge or trial under military orders. The Prisoners' Club warned that the occupation system has turned field execution into a central tool in the 'colonial violence system,' calling on the international community and the United Nations to break their silence and hold the occupation leaders accountable for extrajudicial killings.
It is worth noting that the number of martyrs in the West Bank since October 8, 2023, has reached 1,173 martyrs, while the number of victims of the genocide in the Gaza Strip has exceeded 73,000 martyrs. These figures coincide with official confessions from the occupation leadership of controlling about 70% of the Gaza Strip, which has led to the overcrowding of more than two million Palestinians in very small areas lacking the minimum necessities of human life, amid international legal warnings of the continuation of this leadership and legal chaos.
The two crimes constitute an extension of the policy of field executions systematically adopted by the Israeli occupation forces with unprecedented escalation.
