Israeli Settler Accused in Palestinian Killing Placed under House Arrest

An Israeli settler suspected of involvement in the killing of a Palestinian man in the West Bank has been released from detention and placed under house arrest, while another settler accused of the shooting remains in custody. The decision has sparked outrage among Palestinians, who see it as a sign of impunity for Jewish extremists in the occupied territory. The killing of the 19-year-old Palestinian has drawn condemnation from human rights groups and foreign diplomats, with the US Office for Palestinian Affairs describing it as a "terrorist attack." The incident occurred during a surge of violence in the West Bank and Israel, with radical Jewish settlers increasing their attacks on Palestinian towns and villages.
