Missiles and interceptor fragments are not the main danger in the West Bank. During the first week of the war, five Palestinians were killed by settlers and hundreds arrested
Three Palestinians were killed on Saturday after allegedly being shot by settlers, and 13 interceptor fragments fell in several locations in the West Bank, 10 of them in the Ramallah district. The dead are Amir Shanaran, 27, from the village of Wadi Rahim, on the outskirts of the town of Yatta; Thair Farouk Hamayel, 24; and Fara Jawdat Hamayel, 57, from the village of Khirbat Abu Falah, northeast of Ramallah. Mohammad Hasan Murara, 55, suffocated from tear-gas fired by soldiers who arrived in Abu Falah following the settler attack and died in the hospital.
