Israeli forces kill two Palestinian teenagers in West Bank village raids

Israeli forces shot and killed two Palestinian teenagers in the village of al-Mughayyir in the occupied West Bank, while troops razed an entire village near Hebron, marking an escalation in attacks and displacement across the territory. The victims were 16-year-old Khalil Abu Alia and 19-year-old Omar al-Nassan, both students at the local boys school, killed after settlers entered the village under military escort to seize sheep. Israeli troops fired at residents who resisted, with the military saying it targeted "key instigators," while activists reported snipers on rooftops. The school has lost five students to Israeli attacks this year, and at least eight families have fled al-Mughayyir due to tightened siege measures. In Khirbet a-Taban, 70 residents, including 28 children, were left homeless, marking the 66th Palestinian community erased since October 2023.
