An attack on Thursday evening, August 15, on Palestinian territory in the occupied West Bank left one person dead and one seriously injured. The violence was described as unacceptable by Washington.
An entire village lays one of its own to rest. A 23-year-old man was killed on Thursday, August 15, in the West Bank. While his father is in tears, residents recount an attack by several dozen Jewish settlers. CCTV footage captured the moment of the attack. Men dressed in black break the window of a car. Some are hooded, they set fire and drive off through the fields. For two hours, the attackers light fires in several places in the village. This commando action shocked the residents of the region. One family says they got very little, because in front of their door, a sofa burned and the CCTV camera caught the hooded men. In the footage, they spread gasoline before setting fire to the doorstep.
According to initial police information, these extremists did not come from the nearest town to the village, its mayor is adamant. An Israeli who participated in this attack was arrested by the police. The Israeli army condemned the settlers in a statement.
