Red Crescent says two Palestinians killed in settler attack on West Bank village

Two Palestinians were killed and four were wounded by settler gunfire near the village of al-Mughayyir, in the Ramallah area, during a settler attack, the Red Crescent says.

Imran Abu Awliya, a resident of al-Mughayyir, tells The Times of Israel that the fatalities were a 13-year-old boy who was a student at the school and a 38-year-old man from the village.

Abu Awliya adds that the incident began when five settlers — some in civilian clothing and some in uniform — were herding livestock near the village, close to the school located on its outskirts. According to him, students went out to see who they were, and the settlers opened fire at the windows. A 13-year-old boy who had gone out to use the bathroom was killed.

Due to the shooting, relatives were called to take the children home from the school. Abu Awliya says that a 38-year-old man was then shot dead when he came to collect his relatives from the school, and several others were wounded.

He adds that police and army forces later arrived at the scene and used tear gas to disperse those present.

The IDF has not yet issued a response.

Footage circulating online appears to show settlers moving around the area of the village, possibly prior to the shooting.
