The US State Department says it’s “aware of reports of the death of a US citizen in the West Bank” after the Palestinian Authority reported that a Palestinian-American dual national was killed by settlers.

“We won’t comment further out of respect for the privacy of the family and loved ones,” says a State Department spokesperson in response to a request for comment.
