Israeli settlers killed a 23-year-old Palestinian-American man in the West Bank, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health and an eyewitness, as settler violence against Palestinians ramps up in the occupied territory.

Palestinian authorities and family members said Israeli settlers beat and killed a Palestinian-American man. Israel said the violence began when Palestinians threw stones at Israeli civilians.

A 20-year-old Palestinian-American from Florida was allegedly beaten to death by Israeli settlers while visiting family in the occupied West Bank.
