14-year-old Palestinian boy killed during Israeli raid in West Bank
Israeli forces killed 14-year-old Moataz Daghlas during an operation in Burqa, a village near Nablus in the occupied West Bank.
Palestinian officials said two other Palestinians, aged 17 and 19, were wounded by gunfire.
Israel’s military said soldiers fired at people they believed intended to throw stones at Israeli vehicles.
The Palestinian Red Crescent said access to a third wounded person was blocked, and that three volunteer paramedics were detained.
Daghlas’s relatives said Israeli authorities were withholding his body.
The UN says at least 98 Palestinians, including 22 children, have been killed by Israeli forces or settlers in the West Bank this year; it also reported six Israelis killed by Palestinians there.
The UN says only an imminent threat to life justifies lethal force in the West Bank under international law, and has said children killed in confrontations did not pose such a threat.
The accounts do not say what happens next in the case.
