Israeli Forces Allegedly Kill 14-Year-Old in West Bank

Israeli forces reportedly shot dead a 14-year-old boy in the West Bank, according to Palestinian officials. The incident occurred in Burqa, northwest of Nablus, as Israeli military claimed they were responding to stone-throwing incidents. The Palestinian health ministry confirmed the death of Moutaz Eyad Daghlas late on November 9, 2026. The Israeli military stated that their actions were aimed at thwarting attacks and that soldiers identified individuals allegedly preparing to throw stones at vehicles. They emphasized that this response was necessary to remove the perceived threat in the area, which has seen similar incidents in the past. This incident adds to ongoing tensions in the region, where Israeli forces have faced criticism for their use of live fire against Palestinians, including minors.
