Live: Israeli soldiers kill unarmed Palestinians as they surrender in Jenin

Lebanon said Israeli strikes on the country's south killed two civilians on Tuesday, AFP reported.

The attacks mark Israel's latest deadly attack despite a ceasefire that has been in place since last November. Israel is said to have killed more than 70 people since then, according to the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. 

An "Israeli enemy drone strike on a car in the city of Bint Jbeil killed one person", the health ministry said in a statement, while the state-run National News Agency reported that the raid killed an employee of the Bint Jbeil municipalities union.

The health ministry later said an Israeli drone strike on a car killed one person in Blida near the Lebanese border.

The Israeli military did not respond to AFP's request for comment.

An international force will use “all necessary measures to carry out its mandate” in Gaza, a newly approved United Nations Security Council resolution stipulates. 

The resolution puts US President Donald Trump in control of the Palestinian enclave, with multinational troops in an "International Stabilisation Force" (ISF) overseeing his 20-point plan for its future. 

The term “mandate” is all too familiar in the context of foreign involvement in the affairs of Palestinians. 

“This is a classic colonial scheme which totally disregards the rights and aspirations of the indigenous people,” Avi Shlaim, the British-Israeli historian, tells Middle East Eye.

“In this sense, it is comparable to the British Mandate for Palestine.”

An Al Jazeera cameraperson was shot and wounded by Israeli forces while covering Palestinians protesting near Tulkarm in the West Bank on Tuesday.

Fadi Yassin was covering a demonstration by Palestinians in the Nur Shams refugee camp when he was shot in the leg by an Israeli soldier. Yassin said the soldier had aimed at his leg.  

Yassin told Al Jazeera the Palestinians were demonstrating to demand return to their homes after they were displaced by Israeli authorities 10 months ago.

Israeli soldiers killed two Palestinian teenagers near Bethlehem on Tuesday, Wafa news agency reported

The General Authority for Civil Affairs notified the Ministry of Health about the killing of Imran Ibrahim Imran al-Atrash, 18, from Hebron, and Waleed Mohammad Khalil Sabarneh, 18, from the town of Beit Ummar.

Reports out of Milan, where prosecutors are investigating allegations that rich tourists paid to kill civilians for sport in Sarajevo’s infamous “Sniper Alley” during the Bosnian War in the 1990s, are shocking only to foreigners.

The allegations now emerging are as grotesque as they are painfully familiar to Bosnians: access arranged through intermediaries, payments set by target, children costing more to kill. 

This story was reported and documented by local and regional media as far back as 1995, and more recently in Bosnian writer Haris Imamovic’s book Vedran and the Firemen and Miran Zupanic’s 2022 documentary Sarajevo Safari. 

What is deeply disturbing to a Bosnian like myself is not just the horror of these reports, but the conditions that made such violence possible.

Israeli settlers set fire to Palestinian homes, vehicles and farmland in the latest attack in the occupied West Bank on Monday.

The large-scale evening assault on the town of Jab'a, southwest of Bethlehem, left three homes torched. The properties belonged to Raafat Hilal Mashaaleh, Muhammad Musa Musa and Yusuf Ahmad Musa.

Mashaaleh told Middle East Eye that the attack began as his brother was helping their sister and her children into a car parked in the family garden.

A stone was thrown at the vehicle, and when he looked up he saw two men hurling rocks. Moments later, he realised there were around 50 assailants.

United Nations secretary general Antonio Guterres said the passing of the US-backed resolution on Gaza was an important step in the consolidation of the ceasefire.

"It is essential now to translate the diplomatic momentum into concrete and urgently needed steps on the ground," Guterres said, adding that the UN is committed to scaling up humanitarian assistance in Gaza.

The UN chief also said it was important to continue advancing to the second phase of the US plan, leading to a political process to achieve a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine.

One person was killed and three were wounded in a stabbing attack in the occupied West Bank

The wounded include a woman in her 40s in a serious condition, a man in his 30s and a boy of about 15, both in moderate condition, the Israeli emergency services said.

The Israeli army said the attack took place in the area of Gush Etzion Junction in the southern West Bank. The statement added that Israeli forces killed two attackers at the scene and found explosive materials in their vehicle.

It also said the army has surrounded the villages in the area and soldiers are conducting searches and roadblocks.

Six British pro-Palestine activists accused of attacking a factory operated by Israeli defence firm Elbit went on trial on Tuesday.

Prosecutors said the six defendants were part of the now proscribed protest group Palestine Action, which carried out the assault on the Elbit Systems UK facility in Bristol, southwest England, in August last year.

The activists are accused of aiming to cause as much damage as possible, with one also charged with striking a police officer with a sledgehammer.

They intended to "cause serious damage to property and to use or threaten unlawful violence against anyone who stood in their way, if necessary with the use of weapons including sledgehammers", prosecutor Deanna Heer said.

Charlotte Head, 29, Samuel Corner, 23, Leona Kamio, 20, Fatema Zainab Rajwani, 21, Zoe Rogers, 22, and Jordan Devlin, 31, deny charges of aggravated burglary, violent disorder and criminal damage.

The European Union hailed the UN Security Council's vote in favour of US President Donald Trump's Gaza peace plan as "an important step".

It is "an important step in advancing the comprehensive plan to end the Gaza conflic," the EU's foreign affairs spokesman Anouar El Anouni said.

"It consolidates the ceasefire, enables humanitarian access at scale and opens the way for early recovery, reconstruction and institutional reform in Gaza."

Israeli forces have opened fire on journalists in the occupied West Bank, shooting Al Jazeera cameraperson Fadi Yassin while he covered a Palestinian protest in Tulkarem.

Yassin was hit in the foot and taken to hospital for treatment, Al Jazeera reported. A child was also shot during the same Israeli assault, according to medical staff who spoke to our team.

The Al Jazeera crew had been reporting near the Nur Shams refugee camp, where residents gathered to demand access to their homes after yet another series of Israeli raids. As the crowd protested, Israeli troops fired live rounds, injuring Yassin and the child.

Israeli forces have also detained four Palestinians in the area, widening their latest sweep through Tulkarem.

A former senior UN human rights official has denounced the Security Council’s adoption of a resolution backing a US plan for foreign forces and governance in Gaza, calling it a “colonial outrage”.

Craig Mokhiber, former director of the New York office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), described the vote as a “day of shame” for the UN and accused governments worldwide of being “on their knees before the US empire and its violent Israeli client”.

He criticised the "horrific" resolution as a violation of international law.

“This proposal has been rejected by Palestinian civil society and factions, as well as by defenders of human rights and international law everywhere,” Mokhiber said on X.

He concluded: “The struggle for Palestinian freedom will continue undeterred.”

The Israeli army said its troops shot dead two Palestinians who it claimed crossed the so-called yellow line, the boundary Israel enforces as a military “buffer zone”.

In a short statement, the army claimed the pair moved towards soldiers “in a way that posed an immediate threat,” an allegation it offered without evidence.

Russia’s UN ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, explained his country’s abstention from the US-backed Gaza resolution, criticising it for sidelining Palestinian participation and accusing Washington of acting in “bad faith”.

“The main thing is that this document shouldn’t become a fig leaf for unbridled experiments conducted by the US in Israel, in the occupied Palestinian territory,” Nebenzia said.

He raised concerns that the resolution failed to clarify how the International Stabilisation Force (ISF) would cooperate with the Palestinian Authority. Under the plan, he said, the force “would appear to be able to act absolutely autonomously without any regard for the position nor the opinion of Ramallah”.

“This may entrench the separation of the Gaza Strip from the West Bank. It is reminiscent of colonial practices and the League of Nations British Mandate for Palestine when the opinion of Palestinians themselves was not taken into account,” the Russian envoy told the council.

He also questioned the force’s mandate, asking whether its “peace enforcement tasks” could turn it into a party to the conflict rather than a neutral peacekeeping operation.

Israeli authorities have begun the trial of Al-Aqsa Mosque imam, Sheikh Ekrima Sabri, on charges of “incitement”, with the first hearing held on Tuesday.

The charges, filed in August 2024, relate to two condolence speeches the Palestinian imam delivered in 2022, as well as his mourning of former Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh following his assassination in 2024.

Sabri’s defence team says the case forms part of a broader pattern of political, religious, and ideological persecution carried out by Israeli authorities against him in recent years.

Khaled Zabarka, head of Sabri’s legal team, told Middle East Eye that the case represents “the embodiment of the racist persecution” targeting the imam.

He said the prosecution is part of a wider effort to silence influential community and religious leaders who consistently speak out against the Israeli occupation.
