Two Palestinian teenagers killed when settlers and soldiers entered the West Bank village of al-Mughayyir have been buried, as the Israeli military says the incident is under review.
- Funerals were held for Omar al-Naasan, 19, and Khalil Abu Alia, 16, killed when settlers and soldiers entered al-Mughayyir village near Nablus this week.
- The village council said the teens died trying to stop settlers stealing sheep; the Israeli military said its forces fired on "instigators of a violent disturbance."
- Mohammed al-Naasan, Omar's father, said families expect their sons to return "injured or killed" when they walk the streets.
- The UN said more than 80 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces or settlers in the West Bank this year, at least 23 in settler attacks.
