Palestinian American teen shot dead by Israeli settler, officials say
Omar Mohammad Rabea, 14, killed alongside two other teenagers in West Bank town as settler violence escalates
A Palestinian teenager with US citizenship was killed by Israeliforces in the West Bank town of Turmus Ayya, Palestinian officials said on Sunday, with the Israeli military saying it shot a “terrorist” who was allegedly endangering civilians by hurling rocks.
The incident is the latest in a surge of violence and near-daily confrontations in the volatile West Bank, where settler violence and clashes between Israeli forces and armed Palestinians have kept it on edge.
The mayor of Turmus Ayya, Adeeb Lafi, told Reuters earlier in the day that Omar Mohammad Rabea, 14, was shot along with two other teenagers by an Israeli settler at the entrance to Turmus Ayya and that the Israeli army pronounced him dead after detaining him.
However, the Palestinian foreign ministry condemned the incident as an “extra-judicial killing” by Israeli forces during a raid in the town, saying it was the result of Israel’s “continued impunity”.
“During a counterterrorism activity in the area of Turmus Aya, IDF soldiers identified three terrorists who hurled rocks toward the highway, thus endangering civilians driving,” the Israeli army said in a statement.
“The soldiers opened fire toward the terrorists who were endangering civilians, eliminating one terrorist and hitting two additional terrorists.”
Settler violence in the West Bank, including incursions into occupied territory and raids on Bedouin villages and encampments, has intensified since Israel’s war on Gazabegan in October 2023.
European countries and the previous US administration under Joe Biden imposed sanctions on violent Israeli settlers, though the White House under Donald Trumpremoved these sanctions.
The Israeli military has also in recent months carried what it called a “large-scale military operation” in the West Bank to root out militants.
Militant group Hamas, based in Gaza, has over recent years expanded its reach in the West Bank, where the Palestinian Authority, dominated by the rival Fatah faction, exercises limited governance.
I just took my kid yesterday to his admitted student fair at a University in New York. Many student activist groups holding court, from pro voters, republican club, democratic club, vegetarians, environmentalists, African American fraternities, and yes Hillel and other religious groups. The only group with a bullhorn and shouting at kids and parents aggressively? Like literally jumping in my face and shouting through a bullhorn. The pro palestinian group. That will not earn them any favors from me and it was disruptive for the students trying to learn about the different clubs/groups on campus. I have no problem with Universities trying to shut that down and remove disruptive students. It is one thing to speak your mind, and another to impede on a student experience to make your point. You are here on a visa as a privilege to attend a US university, that is not carte blanche, it comes with conditions imposed by the institutions and yes, that privilege may restrict freedom of speech. It is private property. The one rule, do not be an asshole, this group qualified.
Not sure exactly what you saw and how bad it was, but these foreign people and their supporters on the left do not understand the first amendment. Assembly can not express hatred or violence.
“The hate started flooding in almost immediately.” Debra Messing and her Oct 8 movie are lying to us. Hate is violent.
Shutting down college campuses and graduation ceremonies do not qualify as peace. Destruction of property, Screaming at people with a rage of hatred, is not peaceable assembly .
