Red Crescent says Israeli settler gunfire kills two Palestinians including child

The Palestinian Red Crescent said Israeli settler gunfire killed two people, including a 13-year-old child, in an attack on Tuesday in a village in the central occupied West Bank.

“Two people were killed — one aged 13 and the other 32 — and four others were injured by live gunfire during a settler attack on the village of Al-Mughayyir near Ramallah,” the Red Crescent said in a statement, adding the wounded had been taken to hospital.

When asked by media, the Israeli military —which has occupied the West Bank since 1967 — said it was looking into the incident. –Agencies
