Islamabad, 10 November, 2026 (Ghufran): Israeli forces have killed a 14-year-old Palestinian boy and injured three others during a raid in the village of Burqa, northwest of Nablus in the occupied West Bank. The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the victim as Moataz Iyad Daghlas, confirming that he was killed by Israeli gunfire. Local sources reported that Israeli troops entered the village, opened fire on residents with live ammunition and blocked the main road, restricting movement in both directions. The Palestine Red Crescent Society said Israeli forces prevented ambulance teams from reaching an injured person and detained three volunteer medics responding to the incident. Meanwhile, an investigation by Al Jazeera has revealed that Israeli soldiers, some operating in civilian clothing, have participated alongside armed Israeli settler groups in attacks against Palestinians. The investigation documented the killings of 14 Palestinians by Israeli settlers identified as serving military personnel or appearing in army uniforms during attacks. It also found that the Israeli army’s Hagmar regional defence units, which recruit settlers as reservists, have expanded sixfold since 2023, with their role increasingly shifting towards supporting attacks on Palestinian communities. The report further highlighted concerns over military personnel using access to sensitive information, licensed weapons and military training in attacks against Palestinians. According to the Palestinian Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, Israeli settlers carried out 1,369 attacks in October alone. The commission documented 12,506 attacks between October 2023 and June 2026, resulting in the deaths of 52 Palestinians and 890 fires targeting Palestinian properties and agricultural lands.
