A four-month-old Palestinian boy, Ahmad Marouf Zeid, has died after Israeli forces at a checkpoint west of Ramallah (a city in the Israeli-occupied West Bank) blocked his transfer to the Arab Specialised Hospital for over an hour, despite his critical condition. Laila Ghannam, governor of Ramallah and el-Bireh, said soldiers also fired tear gas at Palestinians attempting to pass through the checkpoint at Deir Ammar village, calling the incident part of a systematic Israeli policy restricting Palestinian freedom of movement and access to healthcare. Separately, Israeli forces shot dead a 16-year-old boy at Qalandiya refugee camp near Ramallah and killed at least two people in a drone strike in Gaza City, as the Palestinian Health Ministry reports that more than 1,087 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank alone since October 2023.
