Members of Palestinian armed groups executed two men in the West Bank city of Tulkarem Friday night accused of collaborating with Israel, as a mob cheered them on, according to Palestinian reports.

Their bodies were hung on an electricity pole and later dumped in the trash.

Videos from the scene showed crowds chanting “traitors” at the men and “Allahu Akbar” (“God is greatest”). It is not clear where Palestinian Authority security forces were during the events.

The two were identified as Hamza Mubarak, 31, and Azam Juabra, 29. They were accused of providing Israel with information that led to a recent counter-terror raid that killed six as Israel clashed with local terror operatives.

Tensions in the West Bank have been escalating since October 7, when some 3,000 Hamas terrorists stormed into Israel from Gaza, killing some 1,200 people and taking at least 240 hostages, making it the deadliest day in Israel’s history.

In response, the country has vowed to eradicate Hamas from Gaza, where the group has ruled since 2007, and launched an operation, attacking Hamas both from the air and on the ground.

While the IDF operates inside Gaza, the West Bank has continued to simmer, and since October 7, some 1,570 wanted Palestinians have been arrested across the West Bank, including more than 950 affiliated with Hamas.

The PA health ministry has said that more than 183 West Bank Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces and in some cases, by settlers. The Yesh Din rights group said last week that there had been over 172 incidents of settler violence and harassment against Palestinians in at least 84 Palestinian towns and communities.

At the same time, there has been a noted uptick in terror attacks or attempted terror attacks by Palestinians against Israelis across the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
