A settler opened fire on a young Palestinian man from zero range, today, Friday, wounding him critically, in the village of Al-Tuwani, located in Masafer Yatta, south of the occupied West Bank.

A video clip published by the human rights organization "B'Tselem" showed the settler advancing with an M16 weapon towards a group of young men who were trying to confront a terrorist attack by settlers on their village, before an unarmed young man intercepted him and tried to stop him, but the settler shot him in the stomach from zero range. Which led to him falling to the ground, where he was critically injured.

For days now, the settlers, under the protection of the occupation army, have continued massive terrorist attacks on several towns in the West Bank, resulting in the displacement of many communities, especially those located in the east of the West Bank, where the settlers of the terrorist organization “Hill Youth” are most widespread.

In the town of Qasra, south of Nablus, 6 Palestinians were killed by bullets from the occupation and settlers, on Wednesday and Thursday, while it appears that the occupation allowed the settlers to open fire on citizens to prevent escalation.

Three Palestinians were killed in Qusra on Wednesday, and during their funeral on Thursday, settlers attacked the funeral and opened fire randomly on the mourners, leading to the death of a citizen and his son.

Settlers launched terrorist attacks on Bedouin communities in the eastern West Bank, during the past two days, and stole their property after preventing residents from taking their belongings while fleeing to safe areas.
