‘We expect our sons to be killed,’ father of teen shot dead in West Bank tells BBC

Funerals have taken place for two Palestinian teenagers who were shot dead this week when settlers and soldiers entered a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank.

The killing of Omar al-Naasan and Khalil Abu Alia comes amid near-daily attacks by Jewish settlers in the village of al-Mughayyir, south of Nablus.

"We expect that when our sons walk in the street, they are likely to return to you injured or killed," Mohammed Al-Naasan, Omar's father, told the BBC.

Israel's military says it fired on "instigators of a violent riot" and that the incident is under review.

The United Nations says more than 80 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces or settlers in the territory since the beginning of the year.
