Israeli Settler Gunfire Kills Two Palestinian Brothers in West Bank

Two brothers were killed and several wounded in a settler attack amid rising violence linked to the Gaza war, with over 4,700 settler violence cases recorded in 2025.

  • On Monday, Israeli settlers killed two brothers in Qaryout, south of Nablus, the Palestinian Red Crescent reported; three others were injured by gunfire.
  • Since the Gaza war began, violence in the West Bank has surged, with the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission recording around 4,723 cases of settler violence during 2025, and recent killings add to this trend.
  • Settlers fired live rounds and burned properties during the assault, while crowds tried to rescue victims and ambulances faced delays amid tear gas fired by Israeli forces.
  • Wounded were taken to Nablus hospital as Israel's military said it was `looking into` the reports, including a 15-year-old boy and three others.
  • The U.N. humanitarian office reported last year the highest daily average of settler attacks since 2006, while Palestinian residents and rights groups say Israeli authorities routinely fail to prosecute settlers, worsening impunity.
