Israelis shoot dead two Palestinian teenagers after settlers encircle village

Troops escort settlers into al-Mughayyir and raze village outside Hebron as ethnic cleansing of West Bank continues

Israelis have shot dead two teenagers in a Palestinian village encircled by settlers, and Israeli troops have razed an entire village outside Hebron, in the latest attacks in a surge of Israeli terror and ethnic cleansing across the occupied West Bank.

The shootings targeted Khalil Abu Alia, 16, who was about to start 11th grade at the al-Mughayyir boys school, and 19-year-old Omar al-Nassan, who graduated from the same institution with top marks this summer.

The teenagers were killed soon after sunset, when a group of settlers entered the village under police and military escort to steal dozens of sheep from a Palestinian home, village residents and Israeli activists said.

Snipers took up position on rooftops and one shot Abu Alia in the neck, his English teacher, Waheed Abu Naim, said in a phone interview. The boy was on the doorstep of his home when he was targeted.

Al-Nassan was shot twice, the second time in the back, residents and activists said. Both had died before they made it to hospital.

A spokesperson for the Israeli military said Israeli police, army and settlers entered the village to take sheep claimed by settlers from a Palestinian home. The spokesperson provided no evidence of ownership, theft or investigation into stolen goods.

When Palestinians resisted seizure of the sheep by throwing stones and cinder blocks, the troops shot them, the spokesperson said. “The forces responded by firing at key instigators in order to remove the threat. Hits were identified.”

Abu Alia was killed by a soldier. It was not clear whether Al-Nassan was shot by a soldier or a settler.



Just look at the weasel words that this hack has dutifully respewed without adding, "but this is clearly bullshit".



In the south Hebron hills Israeli forces spent the day razing the homes of 12 Palestinian families who lived in the community of Khirbet al-Taban. All 70 residents are now homeless, including 28 children.

Israeli troops demolished all buildings and destroyed water cisterns, storage, livestock pens and caves, the Israeli-Palestinian rights group B’Tselem said in a statement.

It is the 66th Palestinian community that has been wiped off the map since October 2023, with 18 others partly displaced, the group said. Nearly 5,000 people have been forced from their homes, almost half of them children.

“Israel is continuing to erase Palestinian communities at an accelerating pace as part of the ethnic cleansing it is carrying out in the West Bank,” said Yuli Novak, the executive director of B’Tselem. “The world continues to stand by as Palestinians and their lives are left completely exposed to Israeli violence.”




And what do we get from the bright new dawn leadership? More empty fucking words:

Ed Miliband has promised to “reset” Britain’s policy on Israel, saying he will try to stop British companies helping build settlements in the West Bank.

Speaking to the Commons for the first time as foreign secretary, Miliband said he would set out measures to prevent UK involvement in projects such as the illegal E1 plan, which critics say would split the West Bank in half.

Tuesday’s comments came after Israel issued tenders for around a third of the 3,400 homes planned for the project. Miliband called the settlement “the crossing of a red line”.

He said: “It cuts through the heart of the West Bank and risks making a Palestinian state unviable. This government will not acquiesce in the destruction of the two-state solution. We will act, and I will set out a comprehensive set of measures in the coming weeks.

“I want a comprehensive reset of our approach on these issues because it is necessary, it is high time.”


That'll tell 'em, Eddy boy. Bet they are quaking in their fucking blood-drenched boots.
