Palestinian health ministry says six killed in West Bank


The Nur Shams camp has been targeted by the IDF several times in recent months.

In April, the Palestinian Red Crescent said 14 people died in a two-day Israeli operation.

And in July the IDF bulldozed the camp’s main street.

In Monday’s second reported attack near Bethlehem, Palestinian media said dozens of Israeli settlers had entered the village of Wadi Rahhal, attacking residents.

The settlers shot dead a 40-year-old Palestinian man and wounded at least three others, Palestinian officials said.

Israel has built about 160 settlements housing some 700,000 Jews since it occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem – land the Palestinians want as part of a future state – in the 1967 Middle East war.

The vast majority of the international community considers the settlements illegal under international law, although Israel disputes this.
