Israeli Forces Fatally Shoot Another Palestinian Child in Occupied West Bank
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces shot and killed another
Palestinian child. Sixteen-year-old Hamed Mohammad Fadel Nazzal was shot
near the northern Qalqilya checkpoint, becoming the 17th Palestinian
child to be killed by Israel in the West Bank since the start of 2025.

Here in the U.S., Axios is reporting House Foreign Affairs Chair Brian
Mast has instructed Republican committee staff to refer to the West Bank
by its biblical name Judea and Samaria. It's the latest attempt to deny
Palestinians' rights in the Israeli-occupied territory.
