Israeli settlers shoot Palestinians in West Bank villages, steal livestock
Hani Odeh, the mayor of Qusra village in Nablus governorate, told the AFP news agency that Israeli settlers shot dead a Palestinian man, 28-year-old Amir Moatasem Odeh, on Saturday. One Israeli civilian was wounded, the military told AFP, adding that two Israeli civilians had been detained alongside three Palestinians. Elsewhere in the West Bank on Saturday, Wafa reported that Israeli forces shot a 43-year-old Palestinian man, Ahmad Khalil Saleh, at the Beit Iksa checkpoint northwest of Jerusalem. Israeli troops or settlers have killed more than 1,045 Palestinians in the West Bank since October 7, 2023, according to an AFP tally of Palestinian health ministry figures. Israeli rights group Yesh Din found that more than nine in 10 investigations into ideologically-motivated offences by Israelis against Palestinians in the West Bank ended without indictment, a pattern the group describes not as negligence, but deliberate policy. A sweeping UN report found that of more than 1,500 Palestinians killed between 2017 and September 2025, Israeli authorities secured just one conviction.
