"Amir Mohammad Shnaran (27) was killed after being shot by settlers in the Wadi al-Rakhim area," the health ministry said.

Violence in the West Bank, which Israel has occupied since 1967, has soared since the Hamas attack on Israel triggered the Gaza war in October 2023. It has continued despite the ceasefire. Israeli troops or settlers have killed at least 1,040 Palestinians, many of them militants, but also scores of civilians, in the West Bank since the start of the Gaza war, according to an AFP tally based on Palestinian health ministry figures. At least 45 Israelis, including both soldiers and civilians, have been killed in Palestinian attacks or during Israeli military operations, according to official Israeli figures.

In Qaryout, a Palestinian village in the West Bank, tensions have erupted into deadly violence amid ongoing settler expansion. On March 2, 2026, two brothers, Mohammed and Fahim Moammar, were killed and several others injured when armed Jewish settlers from the nearby settlement of Shilo opened fire during a confrontation. The violence arose as settlers attempted to construct a new road connecting Shilo and Eli, infringing upon Palestinian agricultural land. Villagers tried to prevent the work, sparking the deadly escalation. This tragedy reflects broader patterns of increasing settler violence in the West Bank since the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel, which triggered heightened security and restrictions on Palestinians. Rights organizations have described the ongoing campaign as an ethnic cleansing effort, facilitated by the current Israeli government—the most pro-settler in the nation’s history—and largely met with impunity. No investigation has been launched into the Qaryout killings. The village of Qaryout has suffered repeated losses of land and lives due to settlement and military encroachment. With only 16% of its original land left, the community remains under siege as violence and displacement intensify, raising urgent concerns about its future survival.
