Settlers kill two siblings south of Nablus and the occupation arrests dozens of Palestinians
Israeli settlers killed two Palestinian brothers in a recent attack near Nablus, also triggering a significant wave of arrests by Israeli forces.
Israeli settlers killed two Palestinian brothers, Muhammad Taha Ma'amar, 52, and Faheem Taha Ma'amar, 48, during an attack near the village of Qaryut in the northern West Bank. The assault resulted in the brothers being shot, with Muhammad receiving a fatal head injury and Faheem sustaining a critical gunshot wound to the abdomen. In addition to the fatalities, the Palestinian Red Crescent reported at least three additional injuries, including a 15-year-old boy, who was shot in the shoulder. Eyewitnesses indicated that the settlers invaded the outskirts of Qaryut, attempting to raze land, which sparked confrontations with local Palestinians. They claimed the settlers were shooting live ammunition while being protected by Israeli military forces, highlighting the complexities of the ongoing tensions in the region.
