Palestinian child killed by Israeli police in East Jerusalem
RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) – A Palestinian child was shot dead by Israeli police in occupied East Jerusalem on Monday, according to the official news agency Wafa.
Wafa, citing eyewitnesses, said Wadee’ Oweisat, 14, was killed at an Israeli military checkpoint near the town of Al-Eizariya.
Palestinians shared a video on social media showing a child bleeding on the ground. The child died at the scene.
Israeli public broadcaster KAN said police shot a Palestinian in an alleged stabbing attempt in Jerusalem, without providing any further details.
No injuries were reported among Israeli soldiers.
There was no comment yet from the Palestinian Health Ministry on the report.
Tensions have been running high across the occupied West Bank since Israel launched a deadly military offensive against the Gaza Strip following an Oct. 7 Hamas attack in which Israel says 1,140 Israelis were killed.
Israel has killed at least 27,365 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 66,630 others in Gaza, according to Palestinian health authorities.
