Investigation Launched into Israeli Forces' Close-Range Killings of Palestinians

The Israeli military has opened a military police investigation after videos surfaced showing Israeli troops killing two Palestinians during a raid in a West Bank refugee camp. The videos, obtained by the Israeli human rights group B'Tselem, depict soldiers shooting one man who was incapacitated and another who appeared to be unarmed. B'Tselem accused the army of carrying out "illegal executions." The incident has raised concerns about excessive use of force by Israeli soldiers and the lack of accountability. In a separate incident, police have suspended officers caught on video beating a Palestinian photojournalist in East Jerusalem.
