7-year-old Palestinian boy dies while being chased by Israeli soldiers in Bethlehem
Bethlehem (QNN)- A 7-year-old Palestinian boy died on Thursday while being chased by Israeli occupation forces in the village of Tuqu, southeast the occupied West Bank city of Bethlehem.
Palestinian health sources confirmed that Rayan Suliman has died after his heart stopped beating out of fear while being chased by Israeli occupation soldiers in the village of Tuqu.
The Beit Jala Hospital announced the death of the child and said medics failed to save his life.
The Palestinian education ministry said Suliman died while being chased by Israeli soldiers after he and other students left his school in the Bethlehem District.
Suliman’s father also said in a video circulated on social media that his son was coming home from school with other childs when Israeli soldiers gave chase, and he "died on the spot from fear.”
The education ministry mourned the child as “a martyr” and called on the international community to “hold the occupation accountable for its crimes”.
One day before Suliman’s death, four Palestinian youths were assassinated by Israeli occupation forces during an aggressive raid on the Jenin refugee camp, north of Jenin city.
During the raid, Israeli occupation soldiers raided a primary school and caused panic among the children.

Since the start of the year, Israeli occupation soldiers have killed at least 155 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, occupied Jerusalem and the besieged Gaza Strip, according to the Health Ministry.
Palestinian Authority forces opened fire on a family car in Tubas, killing a 16-year-old boy and his three-year-old sister and arresting their father. The deadly ambush has sparked outrage and renewed scrutiny of security operations in the northern West Bank.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, who is wanted by the ICC over war crimes in Gaza, admits Gaza has no heavy weapons, contradicting earlier statements used to justify the genocide.
Indonesia says it is ready to join a proposed international force in Gaza but only under strict conditions. Jakarta insists its troops will not engage in combat, disarm resistance groups, or normalize ties, while setting a tightly controlled humanitarian mandate for any deployment.
