Israeli Forces Kill Teenager and Arrest 10 Suspects in West Bank

The Israel Defense Forces killed a 14-year-old Palestinian boy, Moataz Iyad Daghlas, and wounded several others during a military operation in the village of Burqa, northwest of Nablus. The military stated that troops in an ambush opened fire on masked suspects who were allegedly preparing to throw stones at Israeli vehicles. Conversely, Palestinian officials and local sources reported that troops fired live ammunition at residents and blocked the village's main road.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society reported that Israeli forces detained three volunteer medics and prevented ambulances from reaching the wounded. In a separate operation in the village of Arrabe, the military, Border Police, and Shin Bet arrested 10 suspected members of Palestinian Islamic Jihad accused of planning attacks against civilians.

Parallel to these operations, an Al Jazeera investigation reported that Israeli soldiers have been wearing civilian clothes to join armed settler groups in attacks on Palestinians.
