In the occupied West Bank, Israeli soldiers have shot dead a 14-year-old Palestinian American boy named Omar Mohammad Rabea during a raid near the town of Turmus Aya. Two other Palestinian American boys, ages 14 and 15, were injured. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemned what it called the “extrajudicial killing” of the boy who is a U.S. citizen. Israel acknowledged shooting the boys, whom they accused of throwing rocks.
Meanwhile, Reuters is reporting the Trump administration is moving forward with a plan to send 20,000 assault rifles to Israel. The Biden administration had paused the shipment out of fear the guns could end up in the hands of violent Israeli settlers.
