Israeli forces shot dead two Palestinian teenagers in recent days in the occupied West Bank. Nineteen-year-old Nehad Amin Barghouti was killed by Israeli soldiers during clashes in the town of Nabi Saleh, near Ramallah. This came just a few days after the Sunday killing of 17-year-old Mohammad Akram Abu Salah during a house raid and demolition near the city of Jenin. This is Abu Salah’s mother.

Mohammad Akram Abu Salah’s mother: “For me, as his mother, no one can feel how I feel now. I love him, thanks to God. I still live with the hope that he will come again and smile at me. His smile was like medicine to me.”

Meanwhile, Palestinian rights advocates have condemned a U.S. congressional delegation currently visiting Israel and led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for enabling Israel’s continued human rights and international law violations.
