As Israel’s unrelenting war on Gaza continues, deadly attacks by Israeli
settlers and forces against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank have
also soared to near-daily killings

According to Shireen.ps, a database compiled by Palestinian journalists,
177 Palestinians have been killed there this year alone.

On Friday, Israeli settlers beat to death 20-year-old American
Palestinian Sayfollah
Musallet

his family stating that the mob surrounded him for three hours during the
assault and attacked medics attempting to reach him.

Eight other Palestinians were also slain this past week – including one
child – as a result of settler attacks, as well as targeted assassinations
and raids conducted by Israeli troops.

In four instances, the bodies of those killed have been detained by Israeli
authorities.

Here are the eight other Palestinians killed in the past week:
Wissam Ghassan Ishtiyeh, 37

Shtayyeh was killed on July 6 during an Israeli raid on the village of
Salem, east of Nablus, according to Shireen.ps.

Israeli forces stormed the village and surrounded two houses during the
operation, local sources reported.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health stated that Israeli authorities had held
his body, refusing to release it to the family for burial.

The Israeli military confirmed the killing.

*Translation: The martyrs Wissam Ghassan Ishtiyeh and Qusay Nasser Nassar,
who were killed by occupation forces’ gunfire following the siege of a
house in the village of Salem, east of Nablus, and the occupation continues
to detain the body of the martyr Ishtayeh.*
Qusay Nasser Mahmoud Nassar, 23

Nassar was also killed on July 6 in Salem, caught in the crossfire as
Israeli forces killed Shtayyeh.

Israeli forces had detained the young man’s body, but later the Palestine
Red Crescent Society received it and rushed him to Rafidia Hospital,
Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.

Ahmad Nafeth Gabriel al-Awiwi, 19

Al-Awiwi died on July 8 in Hebron, succumbing to his injuries after being
shot by Israeli forces during a raid on the city six months ago, according
to Shireen.ps.

The young man was hospitalised a week ago for brain surgery related to his
injuries; however, his health deteriorated, and his death was announced
last week, local sources reported.

Iyad Abdel-Moati Iyad Shalakhti, 12

Shalakhti died of critical wounds on July 9, after being shot by Israeli
forces three days earlier in the Askar al-Jadid camp in Nablus, Wafa
reported.

The boy was shot with live ammunition by an “Israeli soldier positioned
inside a heavily armoured Israeli military vehicle” around 9:30pm on July
6,  according to documentation collected by Defense for Children
International – Palestine.

“My brother*,* my life, and friend,” his mother stated in an emotional
address following his death, according to footage verified by Al Jazeera.

Jaafar/AFP] Ahmed Ali al-Amour, 54

Al-Amour was shot at by Israeli forces on July 10 and then run over by an
Israeli military vehicle in Rummana, west of Jenin, according to local
sources.

Authorities in Israel claimed that he was attempting a suicide attack,
Shireen.ps reported.

Israeli soldiers seized al-Amour’s body, Wafa reported. Local sources told
the agency they also arrested his sons, claiming that a soldier had been
moderately injured in a stabbing attack.

The man’s killing was part of a raid on the town, where Israeli forces
raided a large number of homes and destroyed their contents, Wafa said.
They also deployed sniper teams and launched a wide-scale arrest campaign
in the town.

With al-Amour’s death, the number of those killed in the Jenin governorate
since the start of Israeli military raids there on January 21 has risen to
41.

Mahmoud Youssef Mohamed Abed, 23 and Malik Ismail Abdul Jabbar Salem, 23

The men were shot dead on July 10 in the Gush Etzion settlement, south of
Bethlehem. Israeli police said they had carried out a stabbing and shooting
attack there.

Abed was from the town of Halhul in the Hebron governorate, while Salem
lived in Bazariya, west of Nablus, according to Wafa.

The agency reported that the attack by the young men resulted in the death
of one Israeli settler. Their bodies were detained by Israeli authorities.

*Translation: Local sources: The martyrs Mahmoud Youssef Mohamed Abed (23
years old) from Halhul and Malik Ismail Abdul Jabbar Salem (23 years old)
from the town of Bazariya in Nablus, the perpetrators of the “Gush Etzion”
operation north of Hebron.*
Muhammad Rizq Hassan al-Shalabi, 23

Al-Shalabi was lost during a settler attack on the town of Sinjil, north of
Ramallah, on July 11, and was later found dead after being shot and beaten
by settlers there, according to local sources.

It was the same attack in which American citizen Musallet was killed.

The Palestinian Health Ministry, citing a medical report, stated that
al-Shalabi was killed after being shot in the chest, which penetrated his
back.

He was also left to bleed for several hours, the ministry said.

Activist Ayed Ghafri told Wafa that dozens of settlers armed with automatic
rifles attacked residents who were protesting against the construction of a
new settlement outpost in Khirbet al-Tal, accompanied by foreign solidarity
activists.

The attack also resulted in the injury of 10 citizens from the villages and
towns of Sinjil, al-Mazraa ash-Sharqiya, Abwein, and Jaljalia, north of
Ramallah, with wounds and fractures, the agency added.

The municipality of Sinjil condemned the killings of the two men, saying it
“will only increase our adherence to our land and our determination to
defend it by all legitimate means”.

disappearance, showing signs of torture and severe beating at the hands of
settlers during his resistance to the attack on Sinjil, north of Ramallah.*
