At least one Palestinian was been killed after dozens of armed Israeli settlers, some wearing masks, attacked a village in the occupied West Bank, setting fire to houses and cars.
The settlers threw rocks and Molotov cocktails in the village of Jit, according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
The Palestinian health ministry said Rashid Sedda, 22, was killed by gunfire from the settlers and another man was seriously wounded in what it condemned as an act of “organised state terrorism”. The IDF said it was looking into the reports of a fatality. Israel’s prime minister said that he viewed the incident with “utmost severity”.
It is the latest in the series of attacks by extremist settlers on Palestinian villages in the West Bank, where there has been a spike in violence since Hamas’s deadly attack on Israel on 7 October and the ensuing war in Gaza.
Around 160 settlements housing some 700,000 Jews have been built since Israel occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
