Overview
- Odeh Awawda, 25, was shot in the back near the West Bank village of Deir Dibwan and died soon after, with Palestinian outlet Wafa reporting a settler opened fire.
- The Israeli military said it deployed to stop a clash, said its forces did not shoot villagers, and moved the settlers to a police station.
- Troops detained dozens of Palestinian residents during the operation, and local reports said most were released shortly after.
- Less than two days earlier in Al-Mughayyir, settlers opened fire near a school and killed a 14-year-old and a 32-year-old, with video showing a man in uniform later identified by Palestinian media as a reservist who was suspended.
- UN figures report 28 Palestinians killed through late March, at least nine by settlers, with about 300 injured, while Israeli data logged 2.4 settler attacks a day in 2025 and the NGO Yesh Din found only 3% of complaints led to convictions.
