Pro-Palestine narrative
Israel has ramped up its repression of Palestinians in the West Bank, with these latest killings illustrating a violent trend. Occupation forces that raided the city and the refugee camp provoked confrontations with local Palestinian residents and killed three men at point-blank range, following their abhorrent "shoot-to-kill policy."
Pro-Israel narrative
Over 2.5K Palestinian suspects have been detained so far during Israeli counterterrorism raids, including three in this latest Jenin raid. While the deaths are tragic, it's senseless to claim that the IDF intentionally causes conflicts and kills local residents — especially when those killed are likely to be involved with a militant group that openly admitted its fighters had engaged in clashes.

There's a 44% chance that Israel will recognize Palestine by 2070, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
