The Israeli Special Forces Unit of Yamam, with over 15 soldiers, according to witnesses, shot dead the three Palestinian youths, identified as Adham Mabrouk, Mohammed Dakheel and Ashraf Mubaslat, during a military operation in the Makhfia neighborhood in Nablus, today.
The witnesses said the three youths were inside a car when the Israeli Special Forces Unit, hidden in a civilian vehicle, showered the car with over 80 bullets, and killed them on the spot, before leaving the scene in civilian vehicles (VW Caddy & VW Shattle) and making sure the three are dead.
The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed the three deaths, calling the Israeli operation “an assassination,” echoing a statement from the Palestinian foreign ministry which described it as a “field execution”.

Israeli media reported that the military operation was in cooperation between the Shin Bet and Israeli occupation forces, claiming they were killed as they belonged to a cell that has been responsible for a series of shootings in the area against Israeli occupation soldiers and settlers in the recent weeks.
