We are grieved and concerned by the fatal attack on a 38-year-old Palestinian father near Ramallah. Our hearts go out to his family. Violence, regardless of which side commits it, cannot be tolerated. The perpetrators must be held to account.

Hamdi Na’asan, 38, was killed Saturday near the Ramallah-area village of Mughayyir. There were conflicting claims as to how the deadly incident unfolded. Local Palestinians say settlers from the nearby Adei Ad outpost fatally shot Na’asan during a clash, but Adei Ad residents claim their security guards fired shots in the air to chase away Palestinians attackers who stabbed a Jewish man.
