The family of Saif al-Din Muselat, a Palestinian-American who was killed yesterday in a confrontation with settlers near the village of Sinjil, has called on the US State Department to investigate the incident. The family stated, "This is an unimaginable nightmare, an injustice that no family should experience. We demand that those who killed him be held accountable. He was brutally beaten to death while protecting his family's land from settlers who were trying to steal it." The IDF said last night that they are aware of claims about the Palestinian who was killed, and several others who were injured as a result of the "violent friction," and these are being investigated by the Shin Bet and police.
