Aws al-Nasaan, a 14-year-old Palestinian boy, was shot dead by Israeli settlers in the Palestinian village of Al-Mughayyir in the Israeli-occupied West Bank last week. This comes amid an escalation in settler violence and a push to expand Israel's control over the West Bank. According to data from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, Israeli settlers and forces have killed at least 42 Palestinians so far this year. The Israeli military confirmed the shooter was a reservist soldier and launched an investigation into the attack.
