A young Palestinian man was shot dead by Israeli terror settler militias this evening in an attack they carried out on the town of Qarawat Bani Hassan, in the northern West Bank province of Salfit, according to medical sources.

Ahmed Mustafa Assi, 38, a married father of six children, was confirmed killed in the aftermath of the settler attack in the town of Qarawat Bani Hassan. The incident occurred as residents confronted an attack by settlers, protected by the Israeli military, on the town.

Local sources reported that Assi was shot with live ammunition as residents attempted to confront the settlers and the Israeli occupation forces attacking the town earlier in the day. The occupation forces left him bleeding without allowing medical teams or locals to reach him.

Earlier today, three other civilians were also injured by live gunfire during the settlers’ attack on the town. The situation remains tense as Palestinian communities continue to face aggression from settlers under the protection of the Israe
li occupation forces.
