Illegal Israeli settlers stormed the village of Al Mughayyir in the occupied West Bank and opened fire at a Palestinian school on April 21. The attack killed two people, including a 14-year-old student, and injured multiple children. According to the head of the local council, Israeli settlers and occupation forces had entered the village and started shooting at the school, first against the students and later against others who arrived at the scene.
The village has become a flashpoint for tensions between Palestinians and illegal Israeli settlers, with residents reporting dozens of incidents in 2025, including deadly shootings, arson, and acts of vandalism. The main road into the village is often sealed off by a military gate, and locals say they have increasingly been cut off from their farmland and olive groves
