As a Palestinian living in the occupied West Bank, Shalabi faced restricted movement under occupation.

A U.S. citizen was killed in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on Friday. According to local Palestinian officials, Israeli settlers beat Sayfollah Musallet to death. The Florida native was visiting his family in a village in the West Bank when a confrontation broke out between a group of Palestinians and Israelis.

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.
