A 20-year-old Palestinian-American was killed by Israeli settlers while visiting relatives in the occupied West Bank, his family have said.

Sayfollah “Saif” Musallet was reportedly beaten by Israeli settlers while he was on his family’s farm in an area near Ramallah. A group then prevented ambulances from reaching Musallet for three hours, according to the family, who said he died of his injuries before reaching hospital.
“I was the first one to reach Saif,” said Mohammed Nael Hijaz, a 22-year-old friend of Musallet. “He was not moving when I got there and he could barely breathe. There was time to save him.”
Another Palestinian man, 23-year-old Razek Hussein al-Shalabi, was fatally shot during the attack and was left to bleed to death, the Palestinian health ministry said. The funeral for both men will be held on Sunday so they can be buried together, according to a cousin of Musallet.
The attacks come amid a wave of increasing Israeli settler violence targeting
Palestinians in the West Bank – more than 1,000 Paestinians have been
killed and at least 9,000 injured since Hamas militants launched a
murderous assault in southern Israel on 7 October 2023.... READ MORE https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jul/12/israeli-settlers-kill-american-palestinian-visiting-relatives-in-west-bank-says-family
