A Palestinian youth has died after Israeli settlers opened fire during an attack near Sa’ir, north of Hebron, in the occupied West Bank.

Another Palestinian, a man in his 70s, suffered serious gunshot wounds in the same attack, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent.

Paramedics transported both Palestinians to hospital after performing resuscitation at the scene. The younger victim later died from his wounds.

The Quds News Network said Israeli settlers also set fire to a building near the community of al-Bi’ah during the raid.

Video footage from the area showed flames engulfing the structure following the attack.
