An Israeli army reservist shot and killed two Palestinians near a school in the occupied West Bank in the village of Al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah, on Tuesday. The Palestinian Ministry of Health identified the victims as 14-year-old Aws al-Naasan and 32-year-old Jihad Abu Naim, who were killed in a joint attack by Israeli settlers and soldiers that left three others wounded. Eyewitnesses say there was a volley of gunfire after settlers and army forces arrived in the village. The Israeli military said the gunman was an off-duty army reservist who had not been mobilized, that he had not been arrested, and that the incident was under investigation. This is Kathem al-Haj Ahmed, who witnessed the attack.
Kathem al-Haj Ahmed: “This is a reality in our village. It’s a displacement operation. They aim to displace us. They attack us from all sides, by shepherds, regular people, farmers. And both the army and the settlers are exchanging roles among them in the attacks.”
