Israeli forces have shot and killed a seven-month-old Palestinian boy and wounded his parents during an incident in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron, Palestinian officials said.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that the infant, identified as Sam Fahd Abu Heikal, died in hospital after Israeli soldiers opened fire on a vehicle in the Tel Rumeida area on Friday. His parents were also injured in the shooting.
Family members said the vehicle was stationary at the time of the incident. The child’s grandmother told local media that soldiers fired without warning and that there was no immediate threat posed by the family.
The Israeli military stated that its troops opened fire during “operational activity” after perceiving a vehicle as moving toward them. It said “single shots” were fired and that three Palestinians were injured. The army added that initial findings indicated the victims were “uninvolved civilians” and that the incident is under review.
The killing adds to rising violence in the occupied West Bank, part of the broader conflict involving Israel–Gaza war (2023–present). According to Palestinian health authorities, more than a thousand Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since the escalation began.
The incident occurred in Hebron, an area that has seen repeated clashes involving Israeli forces and Palestinian residents amid heightened tensions across the region.
The Israeli military confirmed the incident is under investigation.
