‘Point blank’: 16 year old Palestinian killed by Israelis

Al Jazeera  

Witnesses say it is unclear whether Amjad Abu Alya was killed by an Israeli soldier or an armed settler. Nassar Nassar, said he was approximately 10 metres away when his cousin Amjad was killed, adding that the settler who was armed was “shooting indiscriminately”. “There was one settler who was armed, and my cousin was very close to him – it was point blank.” Nassar said it was not clear whether the Israeli army or settler fire had killed Amjad. The Israeli army spokesperson said that it was “aware of reports of a Palestinian that was killed”, and that the army had responded after Palestinians burned tyres and threw stones. According to his cousin, Amjad was in the 10th grade and regularly attended protests, particularly after his friend, Ali Abu Alya, was killed by Israeli forces in 2020 during confrontations between Israeli forces and Palestinians.
