16-year-old boy fatally shot by Israeli soldiers

A Palestinian youth died after being shot by Israeli occupation forces near Fawwar refugee camp near the West Bank city of Hebron on Thursday.
 
This comes after occupation forces killed a child in another part of the West Bank earlier in the week.
 
In Thursday’s incident, the Israeli army claimed that Sharif Hasan Rabbaa had tried to stab one of its soldiers and that its “forces fired and neutralized him.”
 
Rabbaa was detained by the Israeli army, which published an image of a knife they claimed he used.
 
Hours later, the Palestinian Authority health ministry announced that the 22-year-old had died from his injuries.
Earlier in the week, a Palestinian boy was fatally shot by Israeli forces during a raid in the northern West Bank.
 
The Lions Den resistance group said it engaged Israeli forces as they invaded the al-Masaken al-Shaabiyya neighborhood in Nablus in the early hours of Tuesday.
 
Palestinian youths pelted Israeli army vehicles with rocks from a distance of about 30 meters as they were withdrawing from the area, according to Defense for Children International-Palestine (DCIP).
 
One boy allegedly threw a piece of metal at one of the army vehicles.
 
An Israeli soldier in one of the vehicles fired live ammunition at another boy who was with him, 16-year-old Hamza Amjad Ashqar, hitting him in the mouth and waist.
 
Ashqar was transported to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead shortly after.
 
He is the ninth Palestinian child to be killed by Israeli forces since the beginning of 2023.
 
“Israeli forces routinely resort to intentional lethal force in situations not justified under international law and make no effort to impartially investigate or ensure that Israeli soldiers act in accordance with international standards,” said Ayed Abu Eqtaish, accountability program director at DCIP.
 
“Israeli forces’ near-daily incursions into Palestinian communities too often result in an Israeli soldier’s bullet in a Palestinian child’s body,” Abu Eqtaish added.
