A Palestinian man was killed yesterday after being attacked by Israeli settlers at the illegal settlement of Gilo in Jerusalem.

Abdul-Fattah Obeiat, a 37-year-old Palestinian father, was beaten to death during his work at the settlement of Gilo.

Abdul-Fattah’s family confirmed that they found him in one of Gilo settlement’s buildings with bruises and cuts across his body and a noose around his neck.

Israeli settlers violence has long become part of Palestinians’ daily life under occupation.

Israeli forces enable these actions, which result in Palestinians casualties, injuries and fatalities.

Investigations, if even opened, are usually closed with no action taken against the settlers as part of an undeclared policy of leniency.
