NABLUS, July 24, 2026 (WAFA) — Four Palestinians were killed by Israeli occupation forces on Friday during an attack by Israeli colonists on the village of Tell, southwest of Nablus, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

In a brief statement, the ministry said four other Palestinians were wounded by Israeli gunfire, three of them critically, while confronting the colonist attack on the village.

Issam al-Saifi, secretary of the Fatah movement in Tell, said colonists attacked two homes in the eastern part of the town, prompting residents to confront them and force them to withdraw.

He said half an hour later, the colonists attacked the western part of the town again, leading to clashes between residents on one side and the colonists and Israeli occupation forces, who stormed the area to provide them protection to the colonists.

He added that Israeli soldiers and colonists opened fire indiscriminately at residents, killing four young Palestinians, including two brothers and their two cousins, and injuring four others. Israeli forces also declared the town a closed military zone, while colonists continued to deploy around the area.

According to the Ministry of Health, 82 Palestinians have been killed in governorates across the occupied West Bank since the beginning of this year, including 21 who were killed by Israeli colonists.
