Palestinian youth killed in a settler assault on West Bank town

Friday 6-October-2023

A 19-year-old Palestinian was killed in a settler attack on the occupied West Bank town of Huwara at dawn Friday.

19-year-old Labib Dhamidi was the fourth Palestinian to be killed by Israeli gunfire in less than 24 hours.

A group of settlers stormed Huwara town and damaged homes and other property. One of the settlers shot the 19-year-old who later died of his wounds in hospital.

A medical source at Rafidiya Hospital reported that Dhamidi arrived at the hospital with critical injuries where he breathed his last.

25 others suffered from teargas inhalation during the attack including 4 children.

Huwara has been the scene of numerous attacks by Israeli settlers in recent months.

Earlier Thursday a Palestinian young man was shot dead by the Israeli occupation forces in Huwara town.

This came hours after two Palestinians were killed in a separate incident near Shufa village in the Tulkarem area.
