Archivist Notes: Two summary executions of teenagers in Osarin (Nablus)

On April 17, 2025, on Thursday evening, two Palestinians were killed and another injured when Israeli forces stormed the town of Osarin, south of Nablus amid heavy live ammunition, and clashes erupted in the area.

According to documentation collected by Defense for Children International - Palestine.

  • Jihad Adham Rebhi Adeli, 16, was shot and killed by Israeli forces around 9:15 p.m. on April 17.
  • Shortly after, Israeli forces closed off the area, located near the closed entrance to Osarin next to Route 90.
  • About ten minutes later, a young man who was with Jihad who sustained injuries reached the center of Osarin and informed the residents that Jihad and another young man were shot by Israeli forces.
  • Palestinian ambulances attempted to reach the scene and provide aid but were blocked by Israeli forces.
  • Then the bodies of both killed were being withheld by Israeli authorities
  • The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that a 20-year-old Palestinian man was also wounded by gunfire and treated at the scene : "The young man sustained a gunshot wound to the knee," said Amid Ahmad, Director of the Emergency and Ambulance Center in Nablus.

IDF statement

Acccording to Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian @manniefabian (Military correspondent of Times of Israel and former IDF soldier) "IDF troops killed two Palestinians who were allegedly hurling stones at Israeli motorists in the West Bank this evening. The military says soldiers of the 636th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit, who were waiting in an ambush near the town of Usarin, spotted three Palestinians hurling stones at cars on a nearby highway. The soldiers opened fire on the suspects, killing two and wounding the third, the IDF says."

Names of the martyrs:

  • Jihad Adham Abdullah Adeeli (16 years old)

Both were residents of Osarin. Their killing comes just hours after the town mourned the death of detainee Musab Adeili, 20, who passed away at Israel’s Soroka Hospital shortly before his scheduled release.
