Palestinian troops killed the Palestinian-American teenager, Palestinian officials say.
Omar Mohammed Saad Rab, 14, was shot dead on the outskirts of Turkus Ayia on Sunday night with two other 14-year-old boys, one of whom was seriously injured. The rest suffered minor wounds.
The Israeli military stated that its troops opened fire in three “terrorists” who threw stones on the highway and endured the civilians who were traveling on it.
The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned what he called the last in the “series of extrajudicial killings” by Israeli forces.
There was no immediate comment from the US, where on Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should meet with President Donald Trump to discuss war in Gaza, Iran and the US.
On October 7, 2023, the West Bank was abruptly in violence on the West Bank, and the next war.
Hundreds of Palestinians were killed because the Israeli forces strengthened their search raids across the territory, saying they were trying to stop the deaths of Palestinian attacks on Israelites on the West Bank and Israel.
Turmus Mayor Ayia said Omar Robei was shot on Sunday near the entrance to the city, which is about 15 km (9 miles) northeast of Ramalla and has a significant population of Palestinian Americans.
Palestinian red crescent said one of the two boys was shot at the lower abdomen and the other in the thigh.
AFP news agency referred to one of the boys, whom he called Abdul Rachman Shekhade, saying that he had shot his soldiers while collecting fruits.
The father of the third boy Ayuba Asadad said he was also a US citizen and that the ambulance that transports him to the hospital was stopped by Israeli soldiers at a military checkpoint, AFP reports.
Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that during the fight against terrorism in the Turkus Ayia, his soldiers “discovered three terrorists who threw the cliffs to the highway, thus enduring the movement of civilians.”
The soldiers fired them, “eliminating one terrorist and hitting two additional terrorists,” he added.
The Foreign Ministry of the Palestinian Administration of the Western Bank has announced Israeli troops “the use of live fire against three children”.
“Israel’s constant impunity as an illegal occupation power calls for further crimes,” he warned.
Last Thursday, the head of the UN Human Rights said the situation on the western shore was “extremely disturbing”.
Volker Turk told the UN Security Council that Israeli operations in the north killed hundreds of people, destroyed entire refugee camps and improvised medical places, and moved more than 40,000 Palestinians.
In January, Israel launched a major operation called “Operational Wall” against the Palestinian armed groups on the northern west bank, saying that it was aimed at “winning terrorism”.
Turk said his office was convinced that from October 7, 2023 the Israeli state and violence in the settlers killed at least 909 Palestinians on the West Bank, including 191 children and five people with disabilities. He warned that some killings could lead to extrajudicial and other illegal killings.
During the same period, 51 Israelis, including 15 women and four children, were killed in Palestinian attacks or armed contractions on the west shore and Israel, he said.
Israel built about 160 settlements living about 700,000 Jews because they occupied the Western shore in the War in the Middle East 1967. Settlements are considered illegal in accordance with international law, although Israel disputes it.
