Israeli forces killed a 14-year-old boy, Moataz Iyad Daglas, on Monday evening during an operation in the village of Burqa, northwest of Nablus. His body was subsequently detained by the military and not returned to his family. Two other Palestinians were injured by live fire during the raid, and three Palestinian Red Crescent medics were detained while attempting to provide aid.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health confirmed receiving notification of the boy's death from the Civil Affairs Administration, stating that the Israeli military held his body after shooting him. According to reports from Burqa, Israeli soldiers fired live ammunition at residents during the military incursion. A 17-year-old boy was shot in the abdomen and pelvis, and a 19-year-old man sustained a gunshot wound to his hand. Both were transported to a hospital for treatment.
The Palestinian Red Crescent reported being alerted to a third injured individual, but their crews were prevented by the Israeli military from reaching the casualty, hindering medical efforts. The restrictions also extended to the detention of three Red Crescent volunteers, who were held by soldiers while performing their duties. Ambulance movement and medical teams' operations were also obstructed.
The Israeli military stated that its forces conducted an operation on the outskirts of Burqa to prevent stone-throwing and what it termed "terrorist acts." Soldiers claimed they observed a group of Palestinians preparing to throw stones at Israeli vehicles on a highway, alleging similar incidents have occurred recently in the area. The military added that soldiers fired to "remove the threat" and observed casualties, without providing further details on the identities of those injured or the circumstances of the shooting.
This incident occurs amidst ongoing Israeli military operations in the West Bank, which include raids, live fire, and arrests, alongside attacks by settlers against Palestinians and their property.
