Israeli settlers killed a 20-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.

Hundreds of Palestinian mourners paid farewell on Sunday to young men killed by illegal Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank town of Sinjil, northeast of Ramallah.

The incident highlights the lack of law and order in parts of the occupied territory where Israelis associated with the settler movement have increasingly attacked Palestinians without consequences.
