Palestinian martyred in extremist settler attack on West Bank town

A Palestinian young man was killed and at least 18 others were injured as illegal Jewish settlers rampage in the occupied West Bank town of al-Mughayyir on Friday afternoon.

AhlulBayt News Agency: A Palestinian young man was killed and at least 18 others were injured as illegal Jewish settlers rampage in the occupied West Bank town of al-Mughayyir on Friday afternoon.

A group of armed settlers have launched a fierce attack on the village, attacking dozens of Palestinian homes and vehicles and injuring several locals.

Deputy Chairman of the Al-Mughir Village Council, Marzouq Abu Naim, affirmed that 1500 settlers stormed the villages and set 40 homes and vehicles on fire.

Hebrew media sources reported that the settlers were searching for a missing 14-year-old settler who was herding sheep in the Palestinian territories near Al-Mughayir on Friday morning.

The Israeli forces have provided cover to the settler attack on the village, using heavy live ammunition and teargas bombs on local residents.

The killing came after an Israeli raid overnight killed two Palestinians in the West Bank.

Palestinian health officials say more than 460 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank by Israeli forces since the start of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.
