Israeli forces opened fire on a car in the occupied West Bank on Sunday, March 15, 2026, killing four Palestinians, including two children, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. The incident occurred near the village of Al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah.
The ministry identified the deceased as a man, his wife, and their two children. The Israeli military stated that soldiers identified "suspicious movement" of a vehicle that had entered a closed military zone and that forces fired warning shots before targeting the vehicle. Palestinian officials and local media reported the family was returning from a visit to a relative.
The shooting has drawn condemnation from Palestinian authorities, who called it an "execution." The incident occurs amid heightened tensions and ongoing military operations in the West Bank following recent attacks.
