Palestinian teens killed during settler attack on West Bank village, officials say

Palestinian officials report that three teenagers were killed in the West Bank village of Al-Mughayyir during an attack by Israeli settlers.

This incident occurs amid a period where three Israelis have also been killed by Palestinians in the West Bank. The Israeli military has faced criticism for its alleged involvement in or inaction during settler attacks on Palestinians. In a separate event, Israeli forces demolished the Palestinian village of Khirbet al-Tabban.

Two Palestinians killed as settlers, Israeli forces raid West Bank village

Two Palestinian teenagers, identified as 19-year-olds Mohammad Na’ssan and Khalil Abu Aliya, were killed in the occupied West Bank village of al-Mughayyer on Wednesday. The killings occurred during a raid involving Israeli settlers and forces, according to the Palestinian Wafa news agency. Residents attempting to confront the settlers were fired upon by Israeli soldiers, resulting in fatal wounds for the two young men. The village has experienced repeated attacks by settlers and Israeli forces in recent months, with settler violence often targeting the village's access road. This incident contributes to a broader trend of escalating violence in the West Bank, where the UN reports a significant number of Palestinian casualties this year due to settler or Israeli force actions.
