Ramallah – Saba:
Two Palestinians were killed and six others were wounded by live ammunition during an attack by Zionist settlers, under the protection of Israeli occupation forces, on the town of Kafr Malik east of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.
Another Palestinian was injured in a separate settler attack south of Nablus.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that two Palestinians were killed and six others were shot by settlers and Israeli occupation forces during the attack on Kafr Malik, according to the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA).
Earlier in the day, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society stated that its teams treated five injured individuals in Kafr Malik after they were shot by settlers, describing their wounds as serious.
Local sources said dozens of settlers stormed Kafr Malik, burning houses and vehicles belonging to residents, while Palestinians from the town and nearby villages attempted to confront them. The sources added that Israeli occupation forces provided protection for the settlers and fired live ammunition at Palestinian civilians.
Two days earlier, Israeli occupation forces killed 13-year-old Ammar Muataz Hamayel, a junior national team athlete in Muay Thai, by shooting him directly in the town.
Meanwhile, in Nablus, a Palestinian man was injured in the head after being struck by stones hurled by Zionist settlers in the village of Asira al-Qibliya, south of Nablus.
WAFA reported that a group of settlers attacked the village, throwing stones at residents and injuring one man in the head. The settlers also set fire to agricultural land earlier in the day and prevented civil defense crews from reaching the area to extinguish the flames.
In a related incident, settlers uprooted dozens of trees between the villages of Aqraba and Majdal Bani Fadil south of Nablus. A group of settlers raided the area, known as "Souf," uprooting and destroying around 80 trees.
