IDF Kills Baby in Hebron While Firing at Vehicle
During operational activity in Hebron, Israeli soldiers fired at a vehicle they perceived as accelerating toward them, resulting in the death of a seven-month-old infant and light injuries to his parents. An initial IDF inquiry determined that the injured were uninvolved civilians, and the military has expressed deep sorrow for the harm caused, stating the incident is under investigation. The Palestinian Authority identified the infant and confirmed the shooting, with the baby’s grandmother describing how shots were fired at their stopped vehicle.
