A man, identified as 40-year-old Rabie Mahmoud Abidi from the village of Zuba in the Jenin district of the West Bank, was found dead on Thursday near the Mas'ada (Golani) Junction. Emergency services from Magen David Adom arrived at the scene after receiving a report of an unconscious man in an open area. Paramedics found the man without a pulse or breathing and pronounced him dead at the scene. Witnesses at the location reported that the victim had been bound and showed signs of torture, abuse, and blows from a sharp object. The paramedics who responded to the incident included Moran Abu Shkara, Shams El-Din Abu Nasra, and Vlad Tishchenko. Police have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death, which is being treated as a murder.

This incident follows a separate discovery of a worker's body in Umm al-Fahm, also from the West Bank, who reportedly refused medical treatment after a fall to avoid losing his livelihood.
