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.
