Israeli settler kills 16-year-old Palestinian in West Bank, mayor says

RAMALLAH: An Israeli settler shot dead a 16-year-old Palestinian in Tuqu’ on Tuesday after the funeral of another teenager, the town’s mayor said. Violence has escalated in the West Bank since the beginning of the war in Gaza in October 2023. Attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank have increased sharply, with the UN reporting the highest number of attacks on record in October. The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Muheeb Jibril’s death on Tuesday.
