Al Jazeera reported that Israeli forces raided the funeral of two Palestinians killed by settlers at a school in the occupied West Bank, firing tear gas at mourners, and a separate report described the funeral procession in Nablus on April 22, 2026 for two Palestinians killed during an attack by Israeli settlers on the village of Khirbet at-Tawil earlier in the week.

CNN said the two Palestinians were killed at a school in the occupied West Bank amid an attack by Israeli settlers, naming the victims as Aws Al-Naasan, 14, and Jihad Abu Naim, 32, and describing gunfire that included “at least eight rounds toward the school.”

The Guardian similarly said Aws al-Naasan, 14, and Jihad Abu Naim, 32, were killed in the attack on the village of al-Mughayyir, with three others wounded, and it described footage of a settler in military fatigues advancing slowly before firing “at least eight rounds in the direction of the school.”

WAFA said Israeli occupation forces attacked mourners attending the funeral of the child Aws Hamdi Al-Nassan, 14, and the young man Jihad Marzouk Abu Na'im, 32, and that Israeli forces fired live ammunition, stun grenades, and tear gas at the funeral procession.

TRT World added that residents buried the two Palestinians after the killings a day earlier, and it described Israeli forces heavily deployed around al-Mughayyir during the funeral while tear gas was used as the crowd was dispersed.

In the same incident, Saba said Israeli forces fired live ammunition, stun grenades, and tear gas at the funeral procession of the child martyr and the young man, and it said the bodies would be buried in the village cemetery after prayers at the village mosque.

The funeral violence followed a school attack in the occupied West Bank that multiple outlets tied to Israeli settlers opening fire near a school in al-Mughayyir.

CNN said the attack happened around noon, with the principal Bassam Abu-Assaf describing that “at least five armed settlers had approached the village of Al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah, around noon,” and it said some students were outside in the schoolyard when the gunfire began.

CNN reported that the Israeli military claimed the incident started after rocks were thrown at a vehicle carrying several Israeli passengers, including a reserve soldier, and that the reserve soldier “exited the vehicle and opened fire at suspects in the area,” while the military said the incident was “under review.”

The Guardian described the same sequence from a different angle, saying settlers entered the village and opened fire near a school, first at students and later at others who arrived, and it said witnesses later saw settlers followed by Israeli soldiers.

It also reported that “a military source told the Guardian that a reservist had been suspended from reserve duty pending the conclusion of a criminal investigation by military police, with his weapon being confiscated.”

TRT World said residents described the Israeli military vehicle driving into the crowd as “a deliberate provocation,” and it said young men threw stones and Israeli forces responded with tear gas before pulling back.

Across outlets, the victims’ identities were consistent in name and age—Aws Hamdi Al-Nassan/Aws Al-Naasan, 14, and Jihad Marzouk Abu Na'im/Jihad Abu Naim, 32—while the details of injuries varied, with CNN saying four others were injured and the Guardian saying three others were wounded.

Accounts from the funeral and the days around the killings included testimony from family members and school officials describing the chaos and the fear that followed the shooting.

TRT World quoted Rehab al-Nasan, the grandmother of Aws, saying, “We moved him from one place to another out of fear for him … but he was killed at school, a place meant to be safe,” and it added that she said he was shot twice in the head.

TRT World also quoted Aws’s sister, Talia al-Nasan, saying, “What happened to him was unfair,” and it reported that she learned of his death while she was still at school herself.

The same outlet quoted Mohammad Abu Naeem, describing his cousin Jihad’s death: “There was direct gunfire. Suddenly, Jihad fell in front of me. We could not save him,” and it said the principal Issam Abu Assaf told it that Israeli forces fired tear gas toward students, causing several cases of suffocation, while one student was hit by live ammunition.

CNN quoted principal Bassam Abu-Assaf saying, “It was a disaster. Everybody was screaming. It was unbelievable. I’m still processing it. I don’t know how long it will take for the teachers and students to overcome the shock,” and it said he added that four others were injured, including students and parents.

The Guardian included a Reuters witness quote from Kathem al-Haj Ahmed, 57, who said, “This is our reality in al-Mughayyer village; they aim to displace us, and both the army and the settlers are exchanging roles among them,” and it also quoted the headteacher Abu-Assaf saying the second Palestinian killed, Abu Naim, rushed to the school after hearing gunfire and was shot.

In the funeral context, Saba said Palestinian local sources reported that Israeli forces attacked mourners at the funeral of the child martyr Aws Hamdi Naasan (14 years old) and the young man Jihad Marzouq Abu Naim (32 years old), and it said the bodies would be buried after prayers at the village mosque.

While the core event—two Palestinians killed near a school in al-Mughayyir and tear gas used against mourners—appeared across reports, the outlets emphasized different aspects of the incident and the broader pattern of attacks on education.

CNN foregrounded the shooting mechanics and the Israeli military’s explanation, describing a man in military fatigues advancing and firing “at least eight rounds toward the school,” and it quoted the military’s claim that the incident began after rocks were thrown at a vehicle carrying Israeli passengers, including a reserve soldier, and that the incident was “under review.”

The Guardian also described the “at least eight rounds” firing, but it framed the event through witness accounts and legal consequences, including a report that “a military source told the Guardian that a reservist had been suspended from reserve duty pending the conclusion of a criminal investigation by military police, with his weapon being confiscated.”

Al Jazeera and its video-linked republishing emphasized the funeral raid itself, saying Israeli forces raided the funeral of two Palestinians killed by settlers at a school and fired tear gas at mourners, and another report described tear gas dispersing a crowd in Nablus during a funeral procession for two Palestinians.

WAFA and Saba both described the funeral-day munitions in detail, with WAFA saying Israeli forces fired live ammunition, stun grenades, and tear gas, and Saba similarly listing live ammunition, stun grenades, and tear gas at the funeral procession.

TRT World and Yeni Şafak’s Anadolu-cited account added a siege-and-provocation framing, with TRT World describing an Israeli military vehicle driving into the crowd as “a deliberate provocation,” and Yeni Şafak saying the army spread around the village and stormed the funeral procession while settlers stood on its outskirts.

CNN, meanwhile, broadened the story beyond al-Mughayyir by describing other incidents involving schools, including a school bulldozed in Hammamat al-Maleh in the northern Jordan Valley and razor wire set up near Umm al-Khair in the South Hebron Hills blocking children’s route to school.

Beyond the immediate funerals, the reports connected the al-Mughayyir killings to a wider set of incidents involving schools and to casualty and injury figures cited by Palestinian health authorities and other organizations.

CNN described a separate incident in Hammamat al-Maleh in the northern Jordan Valley where activists said settlers bulldozed a school, and it said a CNN team was detained and assaulted by soldiers last month in that area.

The Guardian

CNN also reported that settlers from the Karmiel settlement set up razor wire near Umm al-Khair in the South Hebron Hills, blocking the route used by children to reach school, and it quoted community leader Khaleel Alhathaleen saying, “This road is the main artery upon which the village’s students depend, making its closure a clear violation of their freedom of movement and a direct impediment to the educational process.”

The Guardian added that after more than 40 days of school closures during the US-Israel war on Iran, children in Umm al-Khair returned last week to find settlers had fenced off their path to school, and it said residents reported soldiers fired teargas and stun grenades when children tried to pass.

TRT World and Yeni Şafak both described the town as under siege and said residents feared more attacks, with TRT World stating that since October 2023, at least 1,133 Palestinians have been killed in the occupied West Bank, nearly 11,700 wounded and close to 22,000 arrested, according to Palestinian figures.

The Guardian provided different figures, saying the Palestinian health ministry says 1,152 Palestinians, including 239 children, have been killed in the West Bank since 7 October 2023, and more than 11,800 injured, and it said Israel has not prosecuted any Israeli citizen for killing Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank since the start of this decade.

Saba and WAFA both cited a Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission tally of 1,819 attacks during March, with 1,322 carried out by Israeli forces and 497 by settlers, and they said the attacks were concentrated in Hebron Governorate with 321 incidents, Nablus Governorate with 315, Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate with 292, and Quds Governorate with 203.
