Israeli Defence Forces opened fire in the Nablus area after identifying what they described as “terrorists intending to throw stones at a highway where Israelis were travelling”. According to the IDF’s account, forces responded to the identified threat with gunfire.

Palestinian sources reported that a 14-year-old boy was killed in the village of Burqa in the Nablus area during the incident. The conflicting accounts reflect the ongoing tensions in the West Bank, where such confrontations frequently result in disputed casualty claims between Israeli and Palestinian authorities.

This incident continues a pattern of security operations in the Nablus region, where stone-throwing incidents and Israeli military responses have been recurring flashpoints.
