On Friday, Israeli soldiers killed a Palestinian child in Ya’bad town, south of Jenin, in the occupied West Bank’s northern part.
The soldiers invaded the town, and closed streets, leading to protests, before firing many live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets and gas bombs.
Medical sources said the soldiers shot a child, Amro Ali Khaled Kabaha, 14, with live fire and prevented Palestinian medics from reaching him to provide urgently needed medical attention.
The soldiers also assaulted the child’s father, causing many cuts and bruises, while he was trying to reach his son.
The medics eventually managed to reach the child and rushed him to a hospital in Jenin, where he was officially pronounced dead.
In addition, the soldiers invaded Kafr Ra’i town, south of Jenin, before storming and ransacking the homes of Hussein Al-Atrash and Saher Fayyad Ibrahim.
