The Voice of Ummah: Israeli occupation forces shot and martyred 14-year-old Palestinian boy Moataz Iyad Daghlas on Monday evening during a raid on the village of Burqa, northwest of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, and refused to hand his body over to his family. The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed his martyrdom. According to the Palestinian Information Center and Wafa, two other young men were wounded in the raid: a 17-year-old was shot in the abdomen and pelvis, and a 19-year-old was hit in the hand. Both were taken to hospital.
The Palestine Red Crescent Society said occupation forces blocked ambulance crews from reaching a wounded person and detained three volunteer medics who had responded in the village. Wafa reported that troops also detained Moataz’s father and closed Burqa’s main road in both directions.
