Two Palestinians were killed by Israeli settlers during an attack in the West Bank on Friday, according to the Palestinian Authority’s health ministry, in an incident the military said was under investigation.
A spokesman for the PA’s health ministry, Annas Abu El Ezz, told AFP that 23-year-old Saif al-Din Kamil Abdul Karim Musalat “died after being severely beaten all over his body by settlers in the town of Sinjil, north of Ramallah, this afternoon.” Palestinian media said Musalat was a dual Palestinian-American citizen.
The PA’s health ministry later said a second man, 23-year-old Mohammad Shalabi, was fatally shot by settlers. Both Shulabi and Musalat were identified as residents of the nearby town of al-Mazra’a ash-Sharqiya.
Palestinian media reported another 10 people were injured.
The IDF said it was aware of reports that Palestinians had been killed and wounded, adding that the matter was being probed by police and the Shin Bet.

TVNL Comment: What nonsense. The settlers are not accountable for the deaths and destruction they cause. They operate under their own laws. The IDF and the Shin Bet turn a blind eye to all of the horror. The world is watching.
