He said about five young men were shot, three with rubber-coated metal bullets, and two with live ammunition. GREAT SADNESS Abu Alia said that Amjad's father had cancer and was in a difficult health condition, and had received the news of his son's death with great sadness. The whole village was in a state of grief and mourning ahead of Amjad's funeral on Saturday, with the ceremony to start from the Paleostine Medical Complex in Ramallah. Tthe coordinator of the Agricultural Committee in al-Mughayyir, Kazem al-Hajj Muhammad, told MEE that the village had witnessed a dangerous escalation in recent months following attacks from settlers protected by occupation soldiers. He said settlers pursued farmers, preventing them from reaching their lands, and expelling them from them. They also frequently detained farmers for hours and severely beat them. He said the settlers who launched attacks on the village of al-Mughayyir recently had been living for a year-and-a-half inside a settlement outpost they set up inside an army camp built on parts of the village's lands.
