Early this morning, 15-year-old Imad sat on his home's rooftop with his older brother and watched the Israeli military raid his neighborhood in Balata refugee camp near Nablus in the occupied West Bank. When he pulled out his phone to take a picture, an Israeli soldier shot him in the head with live ammunition, killing him.
Imad is the 12th Palestinian child that Israeli forces have shot and killed with live ammunition in the occupied West Bank this year. As long as Israeli forces are allowed to operate with complete impunity, they will continue killing Palestinian children like Imad while facing no consequences. Systemic impunity means Israeli forces can kill Palestinian children in their homes without fear of being held accountable.
Please share Imad's story with your lawmakers and with your community on Facebook and Twitter. The world must demand accountability for Imad.
In solidarity,
Ayed Abu Eqtaish Accountability Program Director Defense for Children International - Palestine
