"Israeli forces killed four militants near the Palestinian town of Jenin on Wednesday, bringing the death toll from back-to-back raids to 10 in the bloodiest day in the West Bank in more than two years.

The assault by Israeli special forces backed by helicopter gunships followed an operation in the West Bank city of Nablus in which Israeli troops killed five militants and an 11-year-old girl.

The Jenin raid targeted an industrial zone outside the town, a militant stronghold, witnesses and medics said. They said four militants were killed a gun battle with Israeli forces."

"It was the highest single-day Palestinian death toll in the West Bank since the height of a massive Israeli military offensive in April 2002 following a series of suicide bombings in the Jewish state."

ISRAELI ARMY KILL FIVE MEN EXECUTION STYLE
According to medical examinations

<snip>

At 1:00am the Israeli Army attacked homes on Old Najav Street in
Nablus, West of the old city.  Five young men were killed and one
eleven year-old girl.  Medical examination evidence suggests the
five men were executed.

According to Dr. Srour, four of the five men were shot in the head
at close range.  The bullets did not pass through their skulls and
instead exploded the young men's heads, indicating that they were
shot at close range. 

One man had a boot print on his chest, further suggesting that he
was restrained before being shot.  In addition, one man had a bullet
entering in his neck and exploding upwards, leaving blood stains
high up on the wall.  This angle and evidence strongly suggests he
was shot after being detained, also at close range.

According to eye-witness reports the Israeli army also occupied
several homes and a church. They detained members of the church,
including 13 disabled children and elderly men and women who are
living in the centers belonging to the church. When the priest
attempted to enter the church to check on the condition of the
people, an Israeli soldier pointed his machine gun at his head and
threatened to shoot him. They were forced to remain in one room
without food or water until 12:00pm.
