13-Year-Old Palestinian Boy Dies a Month After Israeli Forces Attacked Him in the Occupied West Bank

HeadlineNov 12, 2025

In the occupied West Bank, dozens of masked Israeli settlers attacked the Palestinian villages of Beit Lid and Deir Sharaf on Tuesday, setting fire to vehicles and other property, leaving four Palestinians wounded. It comes as a 13-year-old Palestinian boy died yesterday, a month after Israeli forces attacked him. Aysam Jihad Labib Naser was harvesting olives with his family in Beita, when Israeli soldiers fired several tear gas canisters toward Naser, causing him to choke severely and collapse — that’s according to evidence collected by Defense for Children International-Palestine. Naser was transferred to the hospital and remained in critical condition until he died. This year, Israeli forces and settlers have killed 47 Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank.
