An Israeli drone strike executed three Palestinian young men, on Friday, in the town of Zababda, south of Jenin in the northern occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Health Ministry announced the death of three Palestinian young men after it was informed by the General Authority of Civil Affairs.

The Ministry identified the slain young men as Maysara Suleiman Abdul Masharqa, 33, Arafat Jasser Ahmad Amer, 27, and Wissam Ayman Zidan Khazem, 30, and added that the army confiscated their bodies.


Media sources said that before dawn on Friday, occupation forces opened heavy fire towards a vehicle with three occupants inside, the three men exited the vehicle and ran away, while armed drones fired at least two missiles, killing all three men.

The occupation army also released the drone footage of the extrajudicial execution, showing clearly that at least two of the young men were killed by the drone strikes.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said that their ambulance crews attempted to approach the site of the bombing but Israeli forces prevented them, despite reports of injured citizens.

Sources added that the targeted vehicle subsequently ignited and burned completely as a result of heavy gunfire by occupation forces.


Earlier, a special unit of undercover Israeli operatives infiltrated the town of Zababda, and surrounded a Palestinian home.

Media sources said that the undercover unit opened heavy fire at the home of the Al-Nida family, before military reinforcements arrived; no injuries were reported.

According to the Arab 48 website, the slain Wissam Khazem was the commander of the Al-Qassam Brigades in Jenin, and the slain Maysara Masharqa was a field commander with the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades in Jenin.
