BURQA, occupied West Bank — Israeli forces shot and killed a 14-year-old Palestinian boy and wounded two other teenagers during a raid late on Monday on the village of Burqa, near the city of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, Palestinian officials said. The Palestinian Ministry of Health said on Tuesday that Israeli authorities were withholding the boy's body.

The Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that a 17-year-old was shot in the abdomen and pelvis and a 19-year-old was hit in the hand. According to Wafa, soldiers detained the killed boy's father, stopped an ambulance from reaching the wounded, and briefly held three volunteer paramedics from the Palestine Red Crescent Society who were working in the area.

The Israeli military confirmed the shooting in Burqa. In a statement, it said soldiers opened fire to prevent Palestinians from throwing stones at Israeli vehicles: "The forces responded with gunfire to neutralise the threat and several hits were confirmed." The Times of Israel, citing the army, reported that the soldiers had seen a group they described as intending to throw stones at a highway used by Israeli drivers, at a spot where cars had been stoned before. The two accounts — Palestinian officials describing teenagers fired on during a village raid, and the army describing a response to a stone-throwing threat — have not been independently reconciled.

1,143Palestinians killed in the occupied West Bank since Oct 7, 2023, including 250 children — UN figures cited by Al Jazeera

The killing comes amid what the United Nations has called an unprecedented level of violence in the occupied West Bank since the Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, and the war on Gaza that followed. The UN figures cited by Al Jazeera — at least 1,143 Palestinians killed in the West Bank since October 7, 2023, including 250 children — include Palestinians killed by Israeli settlers living in settlements the UN regards as illegal under international law.

The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) has said 2026 is on track to be the most violent year for settler-related violence since it began monitoring the territory a decade ago; in July alone, it recorded 11 people killed in four incidents involving armed settlers alongside Israeli forces. Al Jazeera reported that Hebron, Ramallah, Nablus, Jenin and el-Bireh have seen the worst of the settler attacks — Burqa lies in the Nablus governorate, in the northern West Bank.

No statement from the Palestinian Authority beyond the Health Ministry and Wafa accounts had been reported by Tuesday morning, and the Israeli military had not announced any review of the shooting in the reports available. The withholding of the boy's body, reported by the Health Ministry, means his family had not been able to bury him as of Tuesday.

What happens next: Wafa's account says the boy's father remains detained and the wounded 17-year-old is in hospital with abdominal and pelvic wounds. Any Israeli military investigation, and any Palestinian or international response, would be a new development on a story that has become a recurring one in the northern West Bank — a teenager dead, two armies of statements, and no agreed account of the minutes before the shots.
