A 14-year-old Palestinian boy, Moatez Iyad Douglas, was killed by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank, while two of his friends were shot and hospitalized.
The event took place on November 9 in Burka, northwest of Nablus. According to local sources, Israeli forces raided the village and opened fire on residents, blocking its main road and cutting off access in both directions.
The IDF claimed that the shooting was intended to "thwart stone throwing and terrorist attacks" in the area.
Israeli forces have repeatedly used live ammunition against Palestinians, including minors, during clashes in the occupied West Bank, which Israel has occupied since 1967.
According to the Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem, Israeli forces killed at least 241 Palestinian children and teenagers in the area between October 7, 2023 and the end of June 2026.
