14-year-old Palestinian boy was shot dead
It was reported that Jad Jadallah, a 14-year-old Palestinian teenager in the al-Fara refugee camp in the West Bank, was shot dead by Israeli Defense Forces soldiers in November 2025. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to witnesses and existing video footage, the boy lay bleeding on the ground for at least 45 minutes after falling. During this time, he was surrounded by 14 soldiers, but emergency vehicles that arrived at the scene were not allowed to approach the boy.
This incident was reported by the BBC. The soldiers claimed that the teenager was “throwing stones” and emphasized that the shooting complied with the rules of engagement.
However, in the video footage, one of the soldiers is seen throwing some object near the boy and then filming him. According to Jad’s mother Safa and human rights defenders, this action could be an attempt to portray the boy as guilty.
Surveillance camera footage shows a soldier shooting at the boy from a distance of three meters, Jad running along the wall and being shot at again, then walking several meters before collapsing while calling for help. According to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, armed soldiers did not allow paramedics who arrived eight minutes after the call to approach the boy for 35 minutes.
The soldiers explained this as a security measure, stating that they needed to ensure there were no explosive devices. So far, Jad’s body has not been handed over to his family.
It is reported that Israel is holding the bodies of more than 700 Palestinians. The family considers this situation a painful factor that raises more unanswered questions.
