Jewish settler kills Palestinian teenager after funeral of another teen killed by Israel

Jewish settler kills Palestinian teenager after funeral of another teen killed by Israel A Palestinian teenager was shot dead by an Israeli settler in the town of Tuqu’, southeast of Bethlehem, in the latest lethal attack on civilians in the occupied West Bank, Wafa reported. Local officials identify the victim as 16-year-old Muheeb Ahmed Jibril, who was killed on Tuesday by live fire from a settler. Muhammad al-Badan, the mayor of Tuqu’, says the killing took place shortly after mourners dispersed following the funeral of another slain Palestinian teenager, Ammar Sabah, also 16. Al-Badan says a small group of young men remained near the town’s northern entrance when a settler exited his vehicle and opened fire directly at them, killing Jibril. He says Jibril’s killing marks the second death in Tuqu’ in less than 24 hours, as Israeli military operations and settler violence intensify across the area. Rights groups have repeatedly accused Israel of enabling settler violence through impunity, as attacks on Palestinians across the occupied West Bank.
