The images shared on the Internet are unsustainable.
The vehicle is riddled with bullets.
Three bodies lie inside.
The cabin is lined with blood and bits of brain.
Daytime carnage in Nablus.
From their window, the inhabitants of this city in the north of the occupied West Bank watch helplessly as this unprecedented violence.
A dozen Israeli soldiers surround the car of the three Palestinians.
But this Israeli commando quickly leaves aboard two unmarked vehicles, including a Palestinian minibus, most certainly used to pass unnoticed in the streets of Nablus.
“
Our forces have once again proven that terrorism will not go unpunished.
Anyone who attacks us will be attacked
,” Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett tweeted.
הימ״מ, שב״כ, צה״ל - כוחותינו הוכיחו היום, שוב, שאין חסינות למחבלים.
מי שפוגע בנו, יפגע.

On this same social network, Palestinians and even Israelis denounce “
an extrajudicial execution
”.
According to Palestinian media, the three victims are identified as members of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the armed wing of Palestinian Fatah.
