 "In the West Bank, two Palestinians who were suspected of working with Israel were hanged."

The murders occur as tensions in the West Bank increase after the October 7 terrorist assault on Israel by the terrorist organization Hamas."

 

"The Palestinian official, who spoke under anonymity, said that the social media footage were real and that two individuals had been murdered. The person said that security authorities were looking into the deaths but refused to comment on the reason behind them. Despite the fact that no one was arrested.

The two men were taken by masked assailants to the Tulkarem refugee camp's main entrance at about nine o'clock on Friday night. They yelled, "Collaborators! Collaborators, the camp's inmates exclaimed.

Residents said that the assailants beat up the two guys and shot each of them around a dozen times while a throng formed around them. After then, according to the residents, some in the mob stomped and spat on the dead. Social media videos showed someone hanging two people's corpses from an energy pole close to the camp's entrance.

"Who are these people? They work together!" A guy was heard yelling and kicking a corpse in a video.

Following the terrorist assault on Israel on October 7 by the militant organization Hamas, tensions in the West Bank have increased following the murders. Israel responded by going to war with Hamas in the Palestinian region it governs, the Gaza Strip.

Since the incident, tensions in the West Bank have risen. Israeli security forces have enforced a curfew on Palestinian inhabitants in some regions of the territory, established many new checkpoints, and conducted daily raids. The United Nations reports that there is a record level of violence against Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

The Israeli military has conducted repeated operations in the more than 20,000-person Tulkarem refugee camp in the northwest of the West Bank, detaining several individuals and inciting fear among the locals.

Three camp residents claim that the two people slain on Friday were taken hostage by Palestinian terrorists earlier this month. According to locals, the militants believed the men had given Israeli security officials information that resulted in the camp's fatal strike.

The terrorist organization and the families of the two slain were not immediately reachable by The New York Times.

Later on Friday night, Hassan Hamdan, a camp resident, said that several individuals had removed a corpse and attempted to bury it.

Hamdan said, "These people felt bad for him." "However, the locals forbade him from being buried in the camp cemetery."
