West Bank teen killed as settler violence surges amid expansion push

Aws al-Nasaan, 14, was fatally shot near his school in Al-Mughayyir in the occupied West Bank, part of a spike in settler violence linked to settlement expansion; the attack, captured on video, also left others dead, and eyewitnesses say Israeli soldiers did not intervene. The IDF has suspended the reservist shooter and confiscated his weapon, while rights groups warn of rising violence and impunity, with UN data showing about 42 Palestinians killed this year as settlements expand and security crackdowns tighten restrictions on Palestinians.
