## Key points

- A 14-year-old was killed near Nablus after an alleged intention to throw stones.
- Around 240 minors and over 900 adults have died in the West Bank since October 2023.
- Settlement expansion and settler attacks continue amid political uncertainty.

## Summary

Israeli soldiers killed a 14-year-old Palestinian boy in Burqa, near Nablus, after saying he and other young men appeared likely to throw stones at a road used by Israeli settlers. The killing is presented as part of a broader pattern of increasingly permissive rules on the use of live fire, amid continuing military operations, settler violence and expansion of settlements.

Since 7 October 2023, around 240 Palestinian minors and more than 900 adults have been killed in the West Bank by Israeli forces or settlers, according to UN figures and the Israeli organisation B’Tselem. The article also describes arrests across the territory, fires in cars, buildings and olive groves, settlers establishing themselves in Jericho, and evacuated outposts being rebuilt; the government continues to advance settlement housing plans.
