Mourners attended the funeral on Thursday, September 3, of 16-year-old Omar Al-Nassan and 19-year-old Khalil Alia, two Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces the night before in the occupied West Bank.

Israeli troops fired on them while accompanying settlers into the village of Al-Mughayyir. Amin Abu Aliya, a local official, told the Palestinian news agency Wafa that settlers and Israeli soldiers entered the village, attacked two



homes and stole sheep. Residents confronted the settlers and the military responded by firing on them.

The army said that locals had thrown rocks but that no troops were injured. It said the incident was under review but declined to comment on the decision to use lethal force.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health says that close to 90 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli settlers and soldiers so far this year.
