🇮🇱 🇵🇸 A week ago in #Jenin, undercover #Israeli forces killed four #Palestinians including a 14-year-old boy.

I conducted an #OSINT investigation into the targeted killings and geolocated some of the events that took place that day. ⤵️

🔍 Key resources included using a combination of @googlemaps, Google Earth Pro, and @suncalc_net. But the most important in determining the location was @mapillary. Sources from @Telegram and @Twitter accounts sharing content was also vital. #OSINT

.@mapillary was very useful to @bellingcat in unpacking the shooting of Shireen Abu Akleh, a prominent Palestinian-American journalist working with Al Jazeera outside #Jenin in 2022.

🔍 The targeted killings took place on Yahiya Ayyash Street, a street close to Abu Bakr Street. The two hit squads were captured from seven angles on the street in question.

🎥 Surveillance footage captured the exact moment 14-year-old Omar Mohammed Awadin was shot by gunfire in front of Samer Al Sanuri Jewelry.

🎥This came moments before undercover Israeli forces were captured chasing down one of their targets, Youssef Shreim, past Samer Al Sanuri Jewelry.

🔴 After killing Youssef Shreim, the two squads proceeded to retreat their two cars. One Israeli gunman proceeded to put a bullet in the head of an already motionless Nidal Khazem. It is unclear whether he was dead or alive before being shot in mobile footage below.

🚗 One squad made a quick escape, but the other ran into trouble on Almalek Fysal Street around the corner from the main commercial district on Abu Bakr Street where gunfire was used to disperse a crowd mobbing their car.

The raids in #Jenin and the wider West Bank come at a time of rapidly escalating violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and a major political crisis in Israel. news.sky.com/story/israel-i…
