Date: 2025-04
A 14-year-old Palestinian-American, Omar Mohammad Rabea, was shot dead by the Israeli army in Turmus Ayya, a West Bank town, on Sunday.
Rabea, along with two other Palestinian-American boys, aged 14 and 15, were also shot and wounded at the entrance to the town.
The mayor, Adeeb Lafi, confirmed that two of the teens were rushed to a medical centre, while the third, Rabea, was detained by Israeli soldiers before being pronounced dead. Israel’s military confirmed it killed what it called a “terrorist.”
"Two of them were transported by ambulance to a nearby medical center and then to the hospital. The army arrived at the scene and detained the third injured boy, who is 14 years old and holds US citizenship," Lafi said.
The Palestinian health ministry confirmed Rabea's death, attributing it to "occupation forces."
