Palestinian baby killed after Israeli forces fire on family car

A seven-month-old Palestinian baby has been killed after Israeli forces opened fire on his family’s car near Hebron in the occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health identified the infant as Sam Fahd Abu Haikal and said Israeli forces shot him and his parents in Tel Rumeida, south of Hebron.

The Wafa news agency said the family was travelling to visit Sam’s grandmother when Israeli forces fired at their vehicle.

Sam’s father was shot in the hand, while his mother was struck by the bullet that entered the baby’s jaw.
