US EditionTwo Palestinians killed during settler attack on West Bank village, officials say
The Palestinian Health Ministry said three others were wounded as witnesses described settlers and soldiers firing near the school.
- On Tuesday, Israeli settlers and soldiers opened fire in the West Bank village of al-Mughayyir, killing 14-year-old Aws al-Naasan and 32-year-old Jihad Abu Naim, witnesses said.
- Located 9 miles northeast of Ramallah, al-Mughayyir has become an epicenter of clashes, with residents reporting dozens of attacks in 2025 including lethal shootings, arson, and vandalism.
- Amin Abu Ulaya, head of the local council, said settlers attacked a school, creating panic as parents arrived amid gunfire and tear gas. "This led to the killing of a student and another person," he said.
- Al-Naasan and Abu Naim are the latest Palestinians killed this year in the occupied West Bank, where 10 people have been killed by Israeli settlers, surpassing the 2025 total.
- While some Israeli officials condemned "Jewish rioters" as a fringe minority, others have backed settler expansion, a practice the United Nations deems illegal under international law.
