Apr 14, 2024

Tel Aviv [Israel], April 14: A Palestinian man has been killed in an attack by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, where tensions remain high amid fears of more violence.
Dozens of settlers stormed the village of al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah, killing one Palestinian and wounding at least 25 people after a 14-year-old Israeli settler went missing.
The attacks that started on Friday, with several Palestinian homes also set on fire, continued into Saturday in al-Mughayyir, as well as in Duma, Beit Furik and Qusra, Al Jazeera's correspondents said.
One Palestinian was wounded in al-Mughayyir, and at least four others in Duma after they were all reportedly hit by live bullets.
In Duma, several homes and cars were set ablaze; in Qusra, south of Nablus, three homes and several cars were reported to have been damaged by the fires; and in Beit Furik, east of Nablus, there were reports of confrontations between settlers and Palestinians.
The Israeli army said the body of the missing teenager had been found, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday condemning the "heinous murder" and "grave crime".
Reporting from Abu Falah, north of Ramallah, Al Jazeera's Nida Ibrahim said at least 40 vehicles and homes were destroyed in the attack.
There are fears that more Palestinian homes could be targeted, reported Ibrahim.
