In the occupied West Bank, two Palestinian teenagers were shot and killed by Israeli soldiers Wednesday as settlers and troops entered the village of al-Mughayyir. The victims were identified as 19-year-old Omar al-Naasan and 16-year-old Khalil Shehadeh. Eyewitnesses say snipers opened fire after Palestinian residents confronted settlers who were stealing their sheep. Meanwhile, Israel has razed the Palestinian village of Khirbet al-Tabban in the Masafer Yatta region, after ordering residents to evacuate their homes. Israel's military had declared the area a restricted military training zone — even though settlers have been establishing outposts and farms in the area. According to B'Tselem, Israel has expelled 66 Palestinian communities from their homes since October 2023.
