In a tragic escalation of violence in the occupied West Bank, an Israeli settler shot and killed two Palestinians near a school on Tuesday morning, east of Ramallah. The Palestinian Ministry of Health has confirmed the death of 14-year-old Aws al-Naasan and 32-year-old Jihad Abu Naim during the attack in al-Mughayyir village.
Witnesses, including Kazem Al-Hajj Mohammad, reported a flurry of gunfire following the arrival of settlers and the army. The ensuing chaos forced school administrators to evacuate children as further gunfire and tear gas suffused the area. Mourners later carried the bodies, wrapped in Palestinian flags, from the Ramallah Medical Complex.
