Summary
A seven-month-old Palestinian baby, Sam Fahd Abu Haikal, was fatally shot by Israeli troops in the West Bank this past Friday, while his family traveled from Bethlehem to visit relatives near Hebron. His mother was wounded and his father injured. Israeli forces claim they fired single shots at a vehicle they believed was accelerating toward them, wounding three civilians who were later taken for medical care. The military says the incident is under investigation, but this tragedy follows a pattern — including a similar fatal shooting in March involving two children. Historically, accountability for Israeli soldiers accused of harming Palestinians remains extremely low, with fewer than 1% of thousands of complaints between 2016 and 2024 resulting in indictments. With over 700,000 Israelis living in the West Bank, tensions continue to escalate, leaving civilians — especially families — caught in the crossfire.
