--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Israeli forces fatally shot a 14-year-old Palestinian boy in the head
during an overnight raid on the city of Qalqilya in the occupied West
Bank. Witnesses said Israeli soldiers responded with live rounds after
Palestinian youths threw rocks at them. Faris Abu Samra is at least the
37th Palestinian child killed by Israeli forces so far this year.
