Sayfollah Kamel Musallet, who lived in Tampa and was an American citizen, his family said, was visiting relatives in the West Bank when he was killed.

Israeli settlers killed a 23-year-old Palestinian-American man in the West Bank, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health and an eyewitness, as settler violence against Palestinians ramps up in the occupied territory.

U.S. citizen Sayafollah Musallet, 20, also known as Saif, was killed in the incident on Friday evening in Sinjil, north of Ramallah.
