The Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education condemned the killing of two Palestinian students during an incursion by Israeli forces and illegal paramilitary colonizers in Al-Mughayyir, a town northeast of Ramallah in the central West Bank, IMEMC News reported. The ministry issued the statement following the incident but did not immediately disclose the identities of the slain students or provide detailed accounts of how they were killed.
The deaths marked the latest casualties in the West Bank amid ongoing tensions. Palestinian officials have repeatedly documented casualties among civilians and students during military operations and settler-led violence across the territory. The incident underscores the volatile security situation facing Palestinian communities in areas subject to Israeli military control and settlement activity.
