Local officials reported that he and another teenager were fired upon by Israeli settlers in the town of Turmus Ayya.

Media highlighted that violent acts by Israeli settlers have recently escalated, with conflicts between Palestinians occurring almost daily, leading to heightened tensions. Since the outbreak of the Gaza conflict in October 2023, settler violence in the West Bank has intensified, including actions like seizing Palestinian land and raiding Bedouin villages. Although European countries and the previous U.S. presidential administration imposed sanctions on violent Israeli settlers, the current U.S. president has lifted those sanctions.
