RAMALLAH, Palestinian Territories: The Palestinian foreign ministry on Friday described a Jewish settler attack on Palestinians in a village of the Israeli-occupied West Bank as “organized state terrorism.”
The Ramallah-based Palestinian health ministry said one person died of gunshots fired by settlers and another was seriously wounded during the unrest – which Israeli leaders condemned – on Thursday night in Jit, in the north of the Palestinian territory.
