A Palestinian was killed and five others injured Sunday in an armed assault on Hejah village north of Qalqiliya, the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights reported. Israeli settlers carried out the attack while operating under the protection of Israeli Occupation Forces, according to the organization's account of the incident.
The violence marks the latest in a series of escalating attacks by Israeli settlers targeting Palestinian civilians across the occupied territories. Sunday's assault in the Qalqiliya area reflects a broader pattern of settler violence that has intensified in recent months, with Palestinian communities in outlying villages facing repeated threats from armed settler groups operating in coordination with Israeli military forces.
