PEOPLE WAITING OUTSIDE OF MORGUERAMALLAH, WEST BANK, PALESTINE - JUNE 29, 2026: A 15-year-old Palestinian boy died on Monday, June 29, after being shot in the head by the Israeli army during a raid into the al-Bireh of the occupied West Bank, Palestine. According to a statement from the Palestinian Ministry of Health, the teenager, identified as Emir Ahmed Cabir, was critically wounded when Israeli army opened fire during a raid into the Ummu Sherayit neighborhood of the city, later succumbing to his injuries after being rushed to a hospital. Children account for nearly a quarter of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank since October 2023, the highest death rate of minors since Israel’s occupation of the territory in 1967, Israeli rights group B’Tselem said on Monday. “The widespread, unprecedented killing of Palestinian children and teenagers in the West Bank is the result of a broader Israeli policy that enables the killing of Palestinians with virtually no accountability,” B’Tselem Executive Director Yuli Novak said in a report. “When the military commander of the area boasts that Israel is killing Palestinians ‘like we haven’t killed since 1967,’ he is confirming exactly that: the system does not merely back those who pull the trigger — it effectively grants them a license to kill,” he added. The group said that 241 children and teenagers were among 1,086 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank since October 2023. According to the rights group, 54 Palestinian children were killed in the West Bank last year, and in nearly one-quarter of these cases, Israeli forces delayed or prevented medical teams or local residents from reaching wounded children and teenagers to provide life-saving assistance. Israel is also still withholding the bodies of 18 of the 54 children and teenagers killed in 2025, it added. The Israeli army carries out near-daily raids in West Bank cities and towns, often involving arrests, field interrogations and home searches. Since Oct. 8, 2023, attacks by the Israeli army and occupiers in the West Bank have killed at least 1,173 Palestinians, injured 12,666 and led to the arrest of about 23,000, according to official figures. The attacks also include the destruction and demolition of homes and facilities, the razing of agricultural land, preventing farmers from reaching their land, displacing residents from their homes and expanding settlements in the occupied territory. Palestinians warn that the attacks are paving the way for Israel to formally annex the West Bank, which would end the possibility of establishing a Palestinian state under relevant UN resolutions Israel was established in 1948 on lands occupied by armed Zionist groups that carried out massacres and displaced at least 750,000 Palestinians. It later occupied further territories and refuses to withdraw or allow the establishment of a Palestinian state.
