A child died of his wounds after being shot by the Israeli occupation forces last night in the town of Anata, east of occupied Jerusalem.

The Media Office in the Jerusalem Governorate reported in a statement that the child Shadi Wissam Sheha (16 years old) was killed by Israeli occupation bullets in the town of Anata, while he was working in a car wash he owned in the area.

Local sources reported that the occupation snipers from inside the "Pisgat Ze'ev" settlement, built on citizens' lands east of Jerusalem, opened fire at the child Sheha, under the pretext of throwing stones at the occupation soldiers from behind the racist separation and expansion wall, which led to his serious injury, and he was transferred to the hospital, where doctors announced his martyrdom from his injuries.

With the death of the child Sheha, the death toll in the West Bank has risen to 625 martyrs since October 7, 2023, including 146 children and 9 women.
