Troops in West Bank Raise Questions After Two Men Killed

In a troubling event, Israeli forces shot and killed two Palestinian men in the West Bank, even though the men seemed to be surrendering. Videos of the incident show the men coming out of a garage with their hands up, showing they weren't armed. They were then ordered to the ground, kicked, and forced back into the garage. Later, more gunshots were heard, and the men were seen falling lifeless. The Israeli military says the men were wanted militants and that they are investigating the incident. However, Palestinians and human rights groups often say these investigations don't lead to justice. A far-right Israeli official praised the troops, saying terrorists should die, which sparked more controversy. This incident is part of a larger operation in the West Bank, where Israel has been arresting people and cracking down on militants. The military says it's responding to attacks and the building of terrorist strongholds. But Palestinians say the violence is excessive and that many unarmed civilians have been killed. Meanwhile, Israel has been carrying out airstrikes in Lebanon, targeting suspected Hezbollah sites. The strikes have killed civilians, and the United Nations has criticized Israel for this. Lebanon's prime minister even rebuked Hezbollah for not protecting the people. In a lighter note, a Palestinian-American teenager was released from Israeli detention after nine months. The 16-year-old looked thin and frail but was happy to be reunited with his family.
