A Palestinian man has been shot dead, and dozens others have been wounded in the occupied West Bank during a confrontation with Israeli soldiers and settlers in the village of al-Mugheir, northeast of Ramallah.

The 38-year-old, identified as Hamdi Naasan, was shot in the back [emphasis: mine] and succumbed to his wounds shortly after at a hospital in Ramallah, the health ministry said on Saturday.

An Israeli military official confirmed to Haaretz newspaper that settlers used live fire during the confrontation.

…According to local media, confrontations broke out when Jewish settlers attempted to raid the village with the protection of Israeli soldiers.

…Between 600,000 to 750,000 Israelis live in the occupied Palestinian territories of occupied East Jerusalem, West Bank and Gaza. They live in hundreds of illegal Jewish-only settlements built on Palestinian land.

…Meanwhile, a Palestinian teenager who was shot dead by the Israeli army on Friday was buried in his village of Silwad, near the city of Ramallah. 

Ayman Hamed, 18, was shot in the chest with live ammunition by Israeli soldiers stationed at a watchtower near the village, the Palestinian health ministry said. 

Hamed’s mother Inas accused the Israeli army of executing her son in cold blood, leaving him bleeding until he died and preventing ambulances from immediately reaching him.

Until the settler who fired the gun is arrest, prosecuted, and jailed for murder, Israel cannot make the claim to law and order.

Tolerating theft and murder by individuals whose very presence in the area is an aggressive criminal act because the victims aren’t Jewish doesn’t make Israel a Jewish state, it makes it culpable.
