Two Palestinian teenagers were killed during a settler attack in the West Bank village of al-Mughayyir on September 2; village officials said the teens were trying to stop settlers from stealing sheep, while the Israeli military said they had thrown stones at troops. The UN Human Rights Office condemned the killings and the broader pattern of settler violence, and Israeli authorities have made some detentions in connection with the incident. New reporting shows growing friction inside Israel's own security establishment over the issue: an army official told Israeli television that the IDF is angry with the Shin Bet for 'doing the minimum' on settler violence, accusing the agency of failing to provide intelligence or early warnings and suggesting political leaders may prefer the status quo. Separately, Israeli police shot and killed a Palestinian in Jerusalem, and the Israeli army blocked Israeli and Palestinian activists from delivering food and medicine to Palestinian homes besieged by settlers in the West Bank town of Qusra, underscoring continued violence and restrictions across the occupied territories.
