US EditionUS citizen killed in West Bank settler attack
WEST BANK, PALESTINE, JUL 12 – Two Palestinians, including a U.S. citizen, were killed by Israeli settlers amid rising settler violence and over 2,150 attacks reported in the West Bank this year, rights groups said.
- On Friday, Saif al-Din Muslat, a 23-year-old Palestinian American from Tampa, was beaten to death by Israeli settlers in Sinjil, West Bank.
- Since the October 2023 Gaza war, settler violence in the West Bank has surged, including beatings, shootings, and property destruction, leading to deadly attacks like Sinjil.
- Rights advocates report settlers fatally shot Palestinian Mohammed Shalabi, with the military shielding attackers and documenting arson and home ransacking in the West Bank.
- US officials acknowledged the incident but offered no comment, while CAIR and the victim's family called for accountability and an investigation.
- More broadly, the United Nations considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal, with at least seven American citizens, including Muslat, killed since October 2023.
