Escalating Violence in West Bank: Israeli Settler Fatally Shoots Palestinian Harvester

A Jewish settler shot and killed a Palestinian man who was harvesting olives near the West Bank city of Nablus. This incident adds to the rising violence in the region, with seven Palestinians killed by settlers since Hamas's incursion into Israel three weeks ago. The settler claimed self-defense, stating that they were attacked by Hamas supporters. The violence has drawn condemnation from U.S. President Joe Biden, who likened the attacks by extremist settlers to "pouring gasoline" on the already burning fires in the Middle East.
