The United Nations Human Rights Office for Palestine has called on Israel to withdraw from the occupied West Bank following the killing of two Palestinian teenagers in the village of al-Mughayyir. The agency stated that Israel's unlawful presence and the violence against the Palestinian people in the area have led to their complete displacement.
Al-Mughayir has been a target for constant settler and state efforts to force Palestinians to leave, with over 50 settler attacks recorded in 2026 alone. Two Palestinian boys, 16-year-old Khalil Shihadeh and 17-year-old Omar Al Nassaan, were shot and killed by Israeli forces during a reported settler attack. Since December 2024, Israeli forces and settlers have killed nine Palestinians in the town, including five boys.
