    tl;dr:

    The attack began Wednesday afternoon following the funeral of 17-year-old Nachman Mordoff, an Israeli settler who had been killed in a shooting attack by Palestinians at a gas station near the Eli settlement the day before. Only after the settlers had left did Israeli police arrive, one of whom shot and killed 27-year-old resident Omar Qattin who had gone out to try and repel the settlers. Another video shared by the Israeli human rights group Yesh Din shows dozens of masked settlers attacking a home in the town, a solitary army jeep arriving and rolling a tear gas grenade into the street, and settlers fleeing without any attempt by the army to detain any of them. The IDF Spokesperson stated afterward that the army had no advance intelligence about the attack on Turmus Ayya so they were unable to prevent it from taking place, yet only a month ago settlers entered the town and set several cars on fire, while in January they set fire to a home. Residents of Turmus Ayya in the occupied West Bank hold up a photo of Omar Qattin, 27, who was shot dead by Israeli police following a settler attack on the town, June 22, 2023.
