The Health Ministry and senior Palestinian security sources confirmed that the slain Palestinians were identified as Lieutenant Adham Yasser Tawfiq ‘Olweiwi, 23, and Captain Taiseer Mahmoud Othman Ayasa, 33, in addition to a former political prisoner, Jamil Mahmoud al-‘Ammouri, 24.

It is worth mentioning that the wife of al-Ayasa is eight months pregnant.

It added that one Palestinian, identified as Mohammad Samer al-Bazzour, 23, also an intelligence officer, was seriously injured.

The soldiers also confiscated the car of al-‘Ammouri, and took his corpse to an unknown destination, in addition to abducting a young man who was with him.

Colonel Taleb Salahat, the head of the Palestinian Intelligence headquarters in Jenin, said Taiseer was from Sanour village, south of Jenin, and ‘Olweiwi was from Zawata village near Nablus. The Palestinian Security Officers were executed by the undercover Israeli soldiers while they were on night guard duty.

Rajoub stated that the incident is a serious Israeli escalation, and added that this is not the first time Israeli soldiers fired live rounds at the Palestinian security forces and their headquarters.
