Locals say that in the past day, several new outposts – clusters of settler homes unauthorised by the government – have been set up in areas where the Palestinian Authority is meant to have full control.

Settler violence has continued to surge in the West Bank since the start of the US-Israeli war on Iran at the end of February.

Mohammad al-Malhi was the seventh Palestinian killed during this period.

His family said he was shot in the head by settlers who had erected an outpost on their land near Bethlehem.
