Israeli Forces Kill 14-Year-Old Palestinian Boy, Launch Raids Across West Bank

SAFA — Israeli occupation forces killed a 14-year-old Palestinian boy and wounded two others during a military raid on Burqa village, northwest of Nablus, on Monday evening, as Israeli troops carried out further raids, arrests, and home invasions across the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem overnight and into Tuesday morning.

The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the boy as Moataz Iyad Daghlas, 14, who was shot by Israeli forces during their incursion into the village.

The ministry confirmed his killing and said Israeli forces continued to withhold his body, preventing his family from receiving it for burial.

Two other Palestinians, aged 17 and 19, were wounded by Israeli gunfire during the same raid. The 17-year-old was shot in the abdomen and pelvis, while the 19-year-old sustained a gunshot wound to his hand. Both were taken to a hospital for treatment.

Israeli forces also prevented Palestinian Red Crescent crews from reaching a wounded person and detained three volunteer paramedics who had entered the village to provide emergency medical assistance.

Israeli Raids and Arrests Across West Bank

Israeli forces carried out additional incursions across several West Bank governorates, breaking into Palestinian homes, searching properties, deploying military reinforcements, and detaining residents.

In Tulkarem Governorate, Israeli troops stormed the town of Allar, north of Tulkarem, and searched several homes.

In Qalqilya Governorate, Israeli forces raided Habla and detained two young Palestinians, Thaer Ali Omar and Amjad Mufid, during an incursion into Siniriya, south of Qalqilya.

In Nablus, Israeli military reinforcements entered through the Al-Murabba'a checkpoint, while troops stormed the Rafidia neighborhood and Al-Mareej Street, searching a residential property.

Israeli forces also raided the Al-Makhfiya neighborhood and detained a young Palestinian man. Former prisoner Adnan Asfour was arrested after troops broke into his home.

In Ramallah and Al-Bireh Governorate, Israeli forces stormed Deir Abu Mashal and searched a Palestinian home.

Troops also raided Al-Mughayyir village, northeast of Ramallah, and detained four Palestinians identified as Israa Ali Abu Aliya, Mohammed Mamoun al-Zaghoul, Awad Khaled Abu Naim, and Atef Murad al-Nassan.

A large Israeli military force also entered Burqa, east of Ramallah, while troops continued their incursion into Al-Bireh.

Israeli Settlers Attack Palestinian Vehicles

Meanwhile, Israeli settlers threw stones at Palestinian vehicles in Wadi al-Shaer, along the road connecting Salfit with the village of Al-Lubban ash-Sharqiya, endangering motorists traveling through the area.

In occupied Jerusalem, Israeli settlers held a noisy gathering in the Qattanin Market in the Old City to mark the beginning of the Hebrew month.

The incidents came amid continued Israeli military incursions, arrests, and settler attacks across the occupied West Bank, where Palestinian communities face recurring restrictions on movement and threats to their safety.
