According to Palestinian information, two Palestinians were killed in an attack by violent Jewish settlers on the occupied West Bank. It is said that ten other people were injured. The Israeli police and the domestic secret service Shin Bet are investigating the incident that took place on the edge of a protest against the construction of another illegal outpost of the Israelis.
The settlers attacked the Palestinians in the village of Sinjil, mainly with stone throws, sticks and baseball bats. A 23-year-old Palestinian was beaten to death, it was said by the Palestinian Ministry of Health. Another 23-year-old was initially considered missing. His body was found a few hours later. The Ministry of Health said that he had run away as a result of a shot wound in the breast area. Ten other people were injured during the collisions.
The Israeli army explained: “We have knowledge of reports that a Palestinian citizen was killed as a result of collisions and various Palestinians were injured.” The police and the domestic intelligence service Shin Bet would investigate the incident.
No intervention against violent settlers
No one was arrested by the settlers involved, Israeli media reported. Just a week ago, Jewish settlers in Sinjil had attacked two employees of the Deutsche Welle (DW). The correspondent and her cameraman were thrown on large stones, but could come to safety unharmed.
The situation on the occupied West Bank has been intensified in Israel since the Hamas massacre in Israel on October 7, 2023 and the resulting Gaza war. Since then, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, 951 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli military missions, armed disputes and attacks.
At the same time, radical Jewish settlers have expanded their attacks on the Palestinians on the West Bank. Time and again they go up with firearms, baseball rackets and stones in Palestinian villages, ignite houses and cars and set fire to fire in fields and olive forests. The Israeli army usually does not come in and prefers to protect the attackers.
