A Palestinian teenager with US citizenship was killed after being shot by an Israeli settler in the West Bank town of Turmus Ayya, Palestinian officials said on Sunday, as tensions continue to escalate amid a surge in settler violence and near-daily confrontations between Israeli settlers and Palestinians across the occupied territory.

Omar Mohammad Rabea, 14, was shot along with two other teenagers by an Israeli settler at the entrance to Turmus Ayya, the town’s mayor, Adeeb Lafi, told Reuters.

“Two of them were transported by ambulance to a nearby medical center and then to the hospital. The army arrived at the scene and detained the third injured boy, who is 14 years old and holds US citizenship,” Lafi said

Edit: New articles claim the child was killed by the IDF not an Israeli colonist

There is nothing, and I mean nothing, that Israelis Love More than killing Americans. They love it even more than killing Palestinians. When it's a double whammy oh they're over the moon. But being able to kill Americans, which Israel does with shocking regularity, is a joy to them because they're the only country that can do it with absolute impunity. Sure some other countries can sometimes get away with it, but Israel can do it blatantly and with no sense of dread, because they know there is no way America will ever do anything about it.
