The Israeli occupation forces shot dead a 14-year-old Palestinian child on Sunday evening in Halhul, a town north of Al-Khalil (Hebron) in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Information Centre has reported. The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) identified the boy as Naji Nidal Al-Baba.

All parts of the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem are witnessing raids and incursions into villages and towns by the occupation forces and illegal Jewish settlers. All of Israel’s settlements and the settlers who live in them are illegal under international law. The International Court of Law reiterated this fact in July and ruled that the Israeli occupation must end.

Armed raids by Israelis, soldiers and settlers alike, often both together, lead to confrontations with local residents (very rarely of settlers), arrests and the firing of live and rubber bullets and toxic tear gas bombs at Palestinians. The number and frequency of these incursions has increased in conjunction with the unprecedented and ongoing Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip since October last year.
