Israeli settlers have shot and killed a Palestinian farmer near a village in the northern West Bank, media reports say.<\/p>\n
The Palestinian Maan news agency\u00a0said the 48-year victim, identified as\u00a0Mahmoud Zaal Oudah, was shot dead on Thursday while working on his farm close to the Qasra village, located south of Nablus.<\/p>\n
According to the report, the shooting assault took place amid skirmishes between Palestinian locals and a group of Israeli settlers, following which Israeli troops stormed the area.<\/p>\n
Palestinian farmers have remained a constant target of vandalism by Israeli military and settlers.<\/p>\n
Most of the attacks carried out by Israeli settlers against Palestinians and their property are met with impunity, with those guilty rarely facing consequences for such actions.<\/p>\n
The occupied Palestinian territories have witnessed new tensions ever since Israeli forces introduced restrictions on the entry of Palestinian worshipers into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East Jerusalem al-Quds in August 2015.<\/p>\n
More than 300 Palestinians have lost their lives at the hands of Israeli forces in the ongoing tensions since the beginning of October 2015.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
