Two Palestinians Killed in Settler Attack Near Ramallah

Israeli colonizers killed two Palestinians on Wednesday evening in Al-Mughayyir village, northeast of Ramallah. Occupation forces cooperated by closing entrances and invading the area during the violent assault that targeted local residents and their properties in the central West Bank region.

Media sources reported that a group of illegal colonizers stormed the village while soldiers secured the perimeter. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society confirmed ambulance crews transported two citizens to hospital with live gunshot wounds. One victim suffered a neck injury while the other was shot in the back.

Amin Abu Aliya, head of the village council, stated that colonizers invaded near the Grand Mosque under army protection. They attacked two homes belonging to Salah Suleiman and Shehadeh Kaabneh and stole sheep. Snipers positioned on rooftops opened fire on Palestinians confronting the attackers.

The Health Ministry identified the deceased as Omar Mohammad Naji Al-Nassan, nineteen, and Khalil Rasem Khalil Shehadeh, sixteen. Both teens were pronounced dead at the hospital after sustaining critical injuries from live ammunition fired by Israeli sharpshooters during the confrontation.

Local citizens attempted to confront the settlers before soldiers assaulted them and fired tear gas canisters. Several residents suffered inhalation injuries during the chaos. Israeli forces also detained children inside the family home of Khalil Abu Alia, the teenager killed during the violent incident.

Since the year began, ninety-five Palestinians have been killed in the occupied West Bank. This includes twenty-five children and six women. Ramallah saw twenty-two deaths while Hebron recorded twenty. Continued military raids and settler attacks persist across the region despite international concern over escalating violence.
