Two Palestinians aged 16 and 19 were shot dead during an attack by Israeli settlers in the town of Al Mughayir, located near Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank. The Palestinian Ministry of Health confirmed the deaths and stated that the attack occurred during the day today.
The Israeli settlers who carried out the attack were accompanied by Israeli forces, according to information from the ministry. The Israeli military presence during settler violence episodes in the West Bank has been frequently documented by human rights organizations.
Al Mughayir is located in the West Bank, a Palestinian territory under Israeli occupation since 1967. This region has been the scene of frequent episodes of violence between Israeli settlers and local Palestinian populations, often with the involvement or presence of Israeli security forces.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health was the source that confirmed the deaths and provided the initial details on the incident, without prejudice to further investigations that may be conducted by the competent authorities.
