DaysofPal – United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory, Francesca Albanese, has condemned the escalation of deadly attacks by Israeli settlers against unarmed Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
Speaking to the media, Albanese called for an immediate end to the attacks and urged that those responsible be held accountable. Her remarks came after four Palestinians were killed and several others wounded during a settler assault on the town of Tell, west of Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank.
“They shot five men in the villages of Tell and Far’ata in cold blood, and their leaders speak about it openly,” Albanese said, denouncing the violence and the apparent impunity surrounding such attacks.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health said that four Palestinians were killed and four others injured, three of them critically, during an attack carried out by Israeli settlers under the protection of Israeli occupation forces on the outskirts of Tell, south of Nablus.
The attack has heightened tensions in Tell and the surrounding area, where Israeli occupation forces have deployed additional troops and imposed a security cordon.
According to local reports, Israeli occupation forces entered the outskirts of the town to secure the settlers during the assault. Meanwhile, residents remain on high alert amid fears of further attacks targeting homes and agricultural land belonging to the village.
