Occupied Jerusalem, April 22 (SANA) Three Palestinians, including two children, were killed and several others injured over the past 24 hours in a wave of attacks by Israeli settlers across the West Bank, according to Palestinian sources.
In al-Mughayyir village northeast of Ramallah, settlers opened fire on a secondary school while students were in classrooms, causing casualties and panic. Witnesses said the shooting targeted children attempting to flee.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health said a 14-year-old boy and a 32-year-old man were killed and four others wounded by live fire during the attack. Israeli forces were deployed in the area and fired tear gas.
In a separate incident in Hebron, a 16-year-old boy was killed after being run over by a settler driving a vehicle linked to a security convoy of an Israeli government official.
The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the attacks as war crimes and called for immediate international action.
Palestinian data indicate a sharp rise in settler attacks, with 497 incidents recorded in March alone, resulting in nine deaths, while more than 1,140 Palestinians have been killed and about 11,750 injured since October 2023.
