💢 BREAKING | Israeli settlers shoot dead a 14-year-old student and a 32-year-old man at a West Bank school, with Israeli forces providing protection Israeli settlers opened fire on Al-Mughair Boys School in the village of Al-Mughayyir, east of Ramallah, on Tuesday afternoon, killing a 14-year-old student, Aws Hamdi Al-Naasan, and a 32-year-old man, Jihad Marzouq Abu Naim, and wounding three others with live bullets, according to the Palestinian news agency WAFA and the Ministry of Health. A paramedic at the scene said at least three settlers deliberately fired at children attempting to escape from classrooms from a position approximately 50 meters away, with a level of accuracy he described as close to sniping. An eyewitness said shooting was directed at classroom windows and balconies still full of children as residents attempted to evacuate the school by crawling. Israeli forces arrived during the attack and, according to witnesses, provided protection to the settlers rather than stopping them. A 63-year-old man, Attallah Abu Aliya, said he was shot in the leg by an Israeli soldier without warning as he walked toward the school after hearing it was under attack. Their deaths bring the West Bank toll to four killed on Tuesday alone, after a 16-year-old boy was run over by a settler's vehicle in Hebron and a 49-year-old woman died from injuries sustained in an Israeli army shooting in Jenin.

Is anyone in the market for a Benedictine monastery first documented in 1014? Because there's a renovated one for sale in Umbria. The original church nave, presbytery and crypt are still intact and the crypt is considered one of the oldest in Umbria. There's also an ancient kiln on the grounds once used for the production of terracotta bricks. 9 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, 1,192m² (12,831 sq ft) arranged around an internal courtyard with a central well. A guesthouse, terraces, event spaces inside the former church, and 2.47 acres of land. UNESCO and international institutions have held cultural events here over the years. Asking price: €1.5M ($1.77M). The monks who built this probably didn't picture the solar panels. But here we are.
