A 20-year-old Palestinian-American was killed by Israeli settlers while visiting relatives in the occupied West Bank, his family have said.
Sayfollah “Saif” Musallet was reportedly beaten by Israeli settlers while he was on his family’s farm in an area near Ramallah.
In a statement, the family demanded an investigation by the US state department into the killings and called on it to “hold the Israeli settlers who killed Saif accountable for their crimes”.
Three Palestinian-American teenagers have been killed in the West Bank since 7 October.
He had travelled to the West Bank to visit relatives at the beginning of June, family said.
