Quick Summary

Palestinian officials report that Israeli forces shot dead a 14-year-old boy named Moutaz Eyad Daghlas in Burqa, northwest of Nablus, in the occupied West Bank on Monday night. The Palestinian health ministry and Palestine Red Crescent Society confirmed one fatality and two wounded individuals treated by medical teams; however, access to another injured person was blocked by Israeli forces, who also detained three volunteer paramedics. Israel's military stated they were responding to stone-throwing threats near an Israeli highway, but rights groups like B’Tselem document frequent use of live fire against Palestinian minors and adults in the West Bank since October 2023.
