Karim Sanad Raja Shalaldeh Allegedly Killed by Israeli Forces During West Bank Rock-Throwing Incident

Karim Sanad Raja Shalaldeh, a 17-year-old Palestinian teenager, was allegedly killed by Israeli forces after a rock-throwing incident in the village of Sa’ir, north of Hebron. The incident occurred when Palestinians threw rocks at Israeli settlers who were in the area without prior authorization. A security official opened fire, resulting in the death of Karim Sanad Raja Shalaldeh and wounding a 70-year-old man. This event highlights a broader surge in settler violence across the occupied West Bank. According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, violence has escalated significantly this year, with at least 87 Palestinians allegedly killed by Israeli settlers and soldiers. Additionally, the Israeli military conducted raids in several areas, including Jenin and Nablus, where other Palestinians were allegedly killed or arrested. Meanwhile, international pressure ismounting on Israel regarding settlement expansion. The European Union, led by High Representative Kaja Kallas, joined global condemnation of Israel's plans for a new settlement in the E1 area, which would bisect the West Bank and cut off the link between the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
