Illegal Israeli settlers attacked and killed at least three Palestinians in the occupied West Bank Sunday, Palestinian authorities and the Israeli military confirmed.

This was the second deadly incident reported in as many days, as the Palestinian Health Ministry said Israeli settlers shot dead Thaer Faruq Hamayel, 24, and Farea Jawdat Hamayel, 57, in the town of Abu Falah, northeast of Ramallah.

It did not say when the incident occurred or provide further details.

In a post on X, Palestinian Vice President Hussein al-Sheikh condemned the "brutal attack on innocent citizens," saying three were killed and seven others injured.

The Israeli military said forces were dispatched to the Abu Falah area "following a report of Palestinians being attacked by Israeli civilians near homes."
