American 'Brutally' Beaten To Death By Israeli Settlers In The West Bank
HuffPost
Twenty-year-old Tampa, Florida, native Sayfollah Musallet's family is calling the incident an “unimaginable nightmare."
Israeli settlers beat a 20-year-old American to death while another man was fatally shot during a violent confrontation in the occupied West Bank on Friday, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry and his family.
Sayfollah Musallet, a U.S. citizen from Tampa, Florida, was visiting relatives in the town of Sinjil, north of Ramallah, when his family says a group of settlers assaulted him while attempting to seize the family’s land.
In a statement, the family said Musallet was “brutally beaten.” Medics were reportedly blocked from reaching him for more than three hours, until settlers finally cleared the area, allowing his younger brother to carry him to an ambulance. Musallet died before reaching the hospital.
The Israeli military claims the violence broke out after Palestinians hurled rocks at Israelis and lightly wounded two people.
On Sunday, Musallet was laid to rest alongside friend Hussein Al-Shalabi, a 23-year-old Palestinian man who was shot in the chest and killed in the same violent incident.
