Calls for justice after Israeli soldiers kill teenage boy in West Bank
Ramallah, December 7 (RHC)-- Mourners gathered over the weekend for the funeral of Ali Abu Alia, a Palestinian teenager who was killed by Israeli forces Friday. Israeli soldiers shot the teen in the stomach during a protest in the occupied West Bank.
Palestinian officials called the act a war crime. The European Union Delegation to the Palestinians called for a full investigation, tweeting: “Children enjoy special protection under international law. How many more Palestinian children will be subject to the excessive use of lethal force by the Israeli security forces?”
