A 14-year-old Palestinian boy identified as Moataz Iyad Daghlas was fatally shot by Israeli forces during a raid on the village of Burqa in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday. Two other teenagers, aged 17 and 19, were also reportedly wounded in the incident. The Israeli military claimed that its soldiers opened fire to prevent Palestinians from throwing stones at Israeli vehicles. However, according to Palestinian sources, the forces detained Moataz's father and impeded an ambulance from reaching the wounded. The United Nations has highlighted a surge in Israeli pogroms in the occupied West Bank since October 7, 2023, resulting in over 1,143 Palestinian deaths, including 250 children. The violence in Hebron, Ramallah, Nablus, Jenin, and el-Bireh has been particularly severe, with the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project indicating that 2026 could be the most violent year for settler-related violence in a decade.
