Two Palestinians shot dead by settlers in clashes near West Bank village

Two Palestinians were shot dead, apparently by settlers in a clash near the northern West Bank village of Aqrabah on Monday, Palestinian witnesses and the Israeli military said.

Dozens of armed settlers attacked the Palestinian village on Monday evening, rights group Yesh Din said in a statement, sharing a video purporting to show a group of settlers running towards the Palestinian village, in the presence of Israeli security forces.

The Palestinian official news agency Wafa reported that settlers fired shots at a group of men while “protected by the Israeli occupation army,” and the Palestinian Red Crescent claimed that security forces detained three people who were injured in the incident.

The IDF and Israel Police said they were investigating the incident.
