Zionist aggressors in the West Bank killed two more young Palestinians in the city of Sinjil, north of Ramallah, including a U.S. citizen who was visiting his family. The Palestinian news agency WAFA denounced on Friday that settlers attacked ambulances heading to the area.

Mohammed Rizq Hussein al Shalabi, 23 years old, was shot in the chest, with the bullet passing through his back, and he bled for hours due to the delay in medical assistance, according to the medical report.

Hours earlier, in the same incident, the Health Ministry reported the death of Saif al Din Kamil Abdul Karim Musalat, also 23 years old, who was born in Florida (United States) and was visiting his relatives in the West Bank. According to the institution, he was beaten to death by Israeli settlers.

The confrontation occurred when Palestinians and international and Israeli activists went to a settler outpost near Sinjil to try to dismantle it. Outposts are the first step for an Israeli settlement in the West Bank, often consisting of a basic structure (a hut, a farm, etc.). They are also illegal under Israeli law, but Netanyahu’s government does not limit their creation and usually ends up authorizing their transformation into settlements, which the Zionist entity considers legal under its law. The Israeli NGO Peace Now estimates that there are currently about 224 outposts in the West Bank.

All settlements and outposts are illegal under international law since they occupy Palestinian territory. Last summer, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered Israel to dismantle all settlements, remove Israelis from the West Bank, and dismantle the separation wall in this territory.

About 160 Palestinians have died in the West Bank due to Israeli attacks (mostly by the army, but also by settlers) in 2025, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
