One killed several wounded as settler extremists, Palestinians clash across West Bank during Sukkot
Clashes between settlers and Palestinians were reported across the West Bank during Sukkot, including a deadly shooting in Yasuf and violence linked to the olive harvest.
Violent clashes erupted across the West Bank during the Sukkot holiday, resulting in at least one fatality, according to reports. The IDF intervened in a confrontation in the village of Beita, where gunfire was heard, but no injuries were reported. Clashes also occurred in Burin and Asira al Qibliya, south of Nablus, where Palestinians claimed a settler shot two Palestinians, killing one and wounding the other.
The incident in Yasuf involved settlers who had established an outpost near the village, leading to a shooting of a Palestinian, 51-year-old Mashour Yassin, outside his home. The New Israel Fund condemned the violence, stating that it is not isolated and calling for the prosecution of the attackers.
