There's been a surge of attacks on Palestinians by Israeli settlers, and on Friday, a 20-year-old

Palestinian American was beaten to death in the West Bank. Sefula Musilet is now the fifth

American to be killed in the occupied West Bank by Israeli forces or settlers since the war in Gaza

began. As Stephanie Syre reports, the U.S. is now demanding

accountability. The body of a Florida native lifted above a throng of mourners in the West Bank.

The scene Sunday won all too familiar in the Palestinian territories. A procession of pain for the latest victims of Israeli settler violence.

A family friend closes the eyelids of Palestinian American Sefullah Kamel Mousselet.

He was only 20 and worked at his father's ice cream shop in Tampa.

He'd been in the West Bank for a few weeks for a family visit.

Last Friday, more than two dozen masked Israeli settlers

attacked the nearby town of Sindhil,

burning fields, throwing rocks, and taking lives.

Musalat was beaten to death while protecting his family's land. Relatives say

settlers and Israeli soldiers prevented ambulances from reaching safe for some three hours.

Killed in the same attack, 23-year-old Palestinian Mohammed Rasek Hussein al-Shalabi,

Sayf's friend. He was found dead in an olive grove, shot in the chest.

A relative blamed Israeli policies for his loss.

It's a continuous crime and continuous policy of the occupation to try and force Palestinians

to leave their land.

The whole world is witnessing this crime, which all Palestinians are suffering from.

More Palestinians were injured last month in settler attacks than in any month over

the last two decades, according to the UN.
