Ammon News - A 14-year-old Palestinian child was killed by Israeli occupation forces on Monday evening in the town of Burqa, northwest of Nablus.

The Ministry of Health said it was informed by the General Authority of Civil Affairs that Moataz Iyad Daghlas, 14, was shot dead by the Israeli forces, who also withheld his body.

Israeli forces detained the child’s father, Iyad Daghlas, as well as a young man identified as Rayan Daghlas.

Israeli forces had stormed the town earlier in the evening and opened live fire at residents, injuring the 17-year-old child in the abdomen and pelvis and a 19-year-old young man in the hand.

The forces prevented ambulance crews from reaching Daghlas before his death was announced. They also briefly detained three volunteer paramedics affiliated with the Palestine Red Crescent Society while they were carrying out their humanitarian duties in the town.
