Shot for throwing stones: Israeli forces killing West Bank teens weekly

Youssef Shtayyeh came home from school on an April afternoon, dropped his bag in the hallway and headed straight back out to join his friends.Minutes later, he was dead -- shot by an Israeli soldier, just 100 metres (yards) from his home.He was 15. His is not an isolated case.Since Israel launched a major military operation against armed Palestinian groups in the northern West Bank in January 2025, one Palestinian minor has been killed every week on average across the territory, up from one every three weeks in 2021, according to UNICEF.
