The Palestinian Authority’s Foreign Ministry describes an extremist settler attack on Palestinians in a West Bank village as “organized state terrorism.”
The PA health ministry says one person died of gunshots fired by settlers and another was seriously wounded during the unrest — which Israeli leaders condemned — on Thursday night in Jit, in the northern West Bank.
Israeli security sources said it was unclear who had shot the Palestinians.
Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
