Settlers beat Palestinian-American to death during attack on village near Ramallah — PA

A 23-year-old man was beaten to death by Israeli settlers during an attack on Palestinians north of Ramallah, according to the Palestinian Authority’s health ministry.

A group of Palestinians had been trying to reach the hamlet of Khirbet al-Tal to protest the establishment of a new illegal Israeli outpost that had been built on the village’s land, which is located in Area B of the West Bank, where no settlements are supposed to exist.

But dozens of settlers blocked Palestinians from trying to reach Khirbet al-Tal and began attacking them, the PA’s official Wafa news site says.

Ten Palestinians from nearby towns were injured in the settler attack.
