13-Year-Old Palestinian Boy Dies a Month After Israeli Forces Attacked Him in the Occupied West Bank
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the occupied West Bank, dozens of masked Israeli settlers attacked
the Palestinian villages of Beit Lid and Deir Sharafon on Tuesday,
setting fire to vehicles and other property, leaving four Palestinians
wounded. It comes as a 13-year-old Palestinian boy died yesterday, a
month after Israeli forces attacked him. Aysam Jihad Labib Naser was
harvesting olives with his family in Beita, when Israeli soldiers fired
several tear gas canisters towards Naser, causing him to choke severely
and collapse–that's according to evidence collected by Defense for
Children International–Palestine. Naser was transferred to the
hospital and remained in critical condition until he died. This year
Israeli forces and settlers have killed 47 Palestinian children in the
occupied West Bank.
