Israeli Forces Kill Palestinian American Teenager in Occupied West Bank
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli soldiers have shot dead a 14-year-old
Palestinian American boy named Omar Mohammad Rabea during a raid near
the town of Turmus Aya. Two other Palestinian American boys, ages 14 and
15, were injured. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemned what it
called the "extrajudicial killing" of the boy who is a U.S. citizen.
Israel acknowledged shooting the boys, whom they accused of throwing
rocks.

Meanwhile, Reuters is reporting the Trump administration is moving
forward with a plan to send 20,000 assault rifles to Israel. The Biden
administration had paused the shipment out of fear the guns could end up
in the hands of violent Israeli settlers.
