In the West Bank, Israeli forces shot dead a 16-year-old in the Qalandia refugee camp near occupied Jerusalem, and a four-month-old infant died after being denied passage through a military checkpoint at the entrance of Deir Ammar village west of Ramallah.

Gaza’s Health Ministry said Israeli attacks have killed 1,066 people and injured 3,445 others since the ceasefire took effect, while the overall death toll since October 2023 has risen to 73,090 killed and 173,553 injured.

The SANA report also said Israeli forces fatally shot 16-year-old Walid Nidal Abu Sneineh, and that two other minors aged 14 sustained gunshot wounds to their lower limbs in the same incident.

Al Jazeera reported that a four-month-old Palestinian boy died after an Israeli military checkpoint west of Ramallah blocked access to urgent medical care, with Ramallah and el-Bireh governor Laila Ghannam saying doctors at the Arab Specialised Hospital confirmed the death on Sunday evening.

Ghannam said the incident was “a stain on the conscience of humanity” and part of an Israeli policy that aims to obstruct Palestinians’ freedom of movement and access to healthcare, in violation of fundamental rights.

In the same reporting, Al Jazeera said Israeli forces shot dead a 16-year-old boy at the Qalandiya refugee camp near Ramallah, and that two other boys aged 14 were wounded in the incident on Sunday.

Al Jazeera also cited Gaza’s Health Ministry saying Israeli army violations of the “ceasefire” with Hamas, which came into effect in October, have killed 1,066 people and wounded 3,445 others.

Arab News said the Palestinian health ministry reported Israeli forces fatally shot a 16-year-old boy in the occupied West Bank on Sunday, and described it as the second reported killing of a Palestinian teenager within a week.

The ministry quoted that “Sixteen year old Waleed Nidal Waleed Abu Sneineh was pronounced dead after being shot by Israeli forces,” and said two other children sustained gunshot wounds to their lower limbs in the same incident.

In a separate account, Palestinian rights activist Ayed Abu Qatish said Israel has killed 244 children in the occupied West Bank since October 2023 to date, arguing that the lack of accountability gives Israeli soldiers a “green light” to continue abuses.

Abu Qatish also warned that “the absence of accountability constitutes a green light to continue killing children,” while the Arab News report placed the West Bank violence in the context of Israel’s occupation since 1967 and an AFP tally that Israeli forces or settlers have killed at least 1,087 Palestinians since October 2023.
