Clashes in the West Bank Kill a 19-Year-Old Palestinian-American, Palestinian Officials Say
Nasrallah Abu Siyam, 19, was shot by settlers amid escalating violence in the West Bank where investigations into settler attacks have sharply declined, rights group Yesh Din said.
- Late Wednesday night, the Palestinian Health Ministry said clashes in the Israeli-occupied West Bank killed 19-year-old Nasrallah Muhammad Jamal Abu Siyam, a Palestinian-American, in Mukhmas, north of Jerusalem.
- Rights groups say authorities routinely fail to prosecute settlers, and Yesh Din, Israeli rights group, reports investigations have plummeted under Itamar Ben-Gvir, National Security Minister; in a rare move earlier this week, Israeli prosecutors announced plans to charge a settler.
- The Israeli military said soldiers responded to a violent confrontation and attempted to disperse a riot, adding that suspected shooters fired at several Palestinians evacuated for medical treatment.
- On Thursday, the U.S. Embassy did not respond to requests, as violence from extremist settlers in the West Bank has soared in recent years.
- More than 3.4 million Palestinians and 700,000 Israelis live in the occupied West Bank and east Jerusalem, and the international community views settlement construction as illegal and a peace obstacle.
