Israeli soldiers shoot and kill 7-month-old Palestinian baby in West Bank

Israeli soldiers opened fire on a car in the occupied West Bank on Friday, killing a 7-month old Palestinian baby boy and wounding his parents, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

Sam Fahd Abu Haykal was in a car with his parents when an Israeli soldier opened fire at the vehicle near the city of Hebron, the ministry said. The gunfire killed Haykal and injured both of his parents.

The boy’s grandmother, Firyal Abu Haykal, told Reuters that one bullet struck their car, killing the baby. “The incident is unbelievable and unacceptable,” she told Reuters.
