Two Palestinian teenagers were killed on Wednesday in an attack carried out by Israeli army troops and settler militants in the village of Al Mughayir in the occupied West Bank. Local officials and the Palestinian health ministry reported that the deadly episode began following a dispute over livestock.
The village of Al Mughayir has become a focal point for rising settler violence. This specific attack occurs amid a broader wave of intensified violence by settler militants throughout the occupied territory.
Further reports indicate a pattern of coordinated attacks by the Israeli army and settlers on mosques in the occupied West Bank. According to Palestinian authorities, Israeli forces and settlers have violated 13 mosques this year.
