The boy later was identified as Suheib Saleh from the village of Asseera Al-Qibliyeh, near the West Bank city of Nablus. Eyewitnesses said the boy died immediately upon receiving a fatal bullet. Suheib’s brother was killed in the same place in 2002.
The sources said that the boy was only 100 meters away from his home, but since the settlement had been built on land belonging to the villagers, so was adjacent to villager's houses.
Israeli sources claimed that the boy was in procession of a Molotov cocktail and a knife. Allegedly, he kept walking despite orders from soldiers telling him to stop. Soldiers opened fire and killed him.
This claim was strongly rejected by the head of the village council Hosni Sharif.
Sharif said, "The boy was not armed at all. The killing comes in a series of deliberate attacks on our houses and people."
The Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance service was able to take the boy's body after Israeli forces kept it for several hours.
Settlers from Yitzhar have escalated attacks against residents and their property for over a week. Settlers threw rocks at residents homes, and burned their olive groves.
