By Elham Asaad BuarasLondon (The Muslim News): A 14-year-old Palestinian boy was shot and killed by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank, while the death toll from Israel’s ongoing assault on Gaza continues to climb. The Israeli army later confirmed the killing but claimed the boy had thrown a Molotov cocktail — a claim multiple witnesses strongly denied. His death brings the number of Palestinians killed in the West Bank since October 7, 2023, to at least 973, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. Meanwhile, in Gaza, Israeli airstrikes have killed at least 51 people and wounded more than 500 in the past 24 hours, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. Now in its 20th month, the war has killed at least 54,470 Palestinians and injured more than 124,000 in Gaza, according to the Health Ministry.
