Palestinian killed in West Bank settler attack
A 20-year-old Palestinian was killed and two others were seriously injured during an attack by Israeli settlers on the village of Hajja in the West Bank. The settlers opened fire on them, resulting in the death of Omar Toubasi and critically injuring a 17-year-old boy. This incident is part of an escalation of violence in the region, amid orders from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to evacuate some illegal settlements in the West Bank. Officials have indicated that the operation relates to settler outposts built on areas under Palestinian control without official authorization. Approximately three million Palestinians and Israelis living in settlements—deemed illegal under international law—inhabit the West Bank, which has been occupied by Israel since 1967.
