’Shot in Heart’: ’Israeli’ Army Martyrs Palestinian Boy

Local Editor

A Palestinian boy was shot in the chest point-blank and later martyred after "Israeli" soldiers targeted a group of youths in a village of the occupied West Bank, according to local media and medical sources.

Bahaa Badr, 13, was fatally shot by the "Israeli" soldiers as the troops made their way to Beit Liqya village in the West Bank.

Badr was shot from a close range into the heart area and martyred shortly after the impact.

"Israel" has referred to the demonstration in Beit Liqya as an "illegal riot," alleging that demonstrators threw Molotov cocktails at soldiers as they were leaving the village.

The martyrdom of Bahaa brings the total number of Palestinians martyred by "Israeli" forces in the occupied West Bank so far this year to 42, in addition to the nearly 2,200 Palestinians slain during "Israel's" summer aggression across the besieged Gaza.

More than 4,300 Palestinians have also been injured by the Zionsit entity soldiers in the West Bank since the beginning of 2014, as well as more than 11,000 during the nearly two-month assault on Gaza.
