An Israeli soldier shot and killed seven-month-old Sam Fahd Abu Haikal on Friday after opening fire on a family vehicle in the Tel Rumeida area south of Hebron (a city in the occupied West Bank), also wounding both parents — the father in his hand and the mother in her chest. The Israeli military acknowledged the incident, claiming troops believed a vehicle was accelerating toward them, and said it is investigating while offering condolences. Hamas condemned the killing as a "crime" and called on international institutions, particularly those focused on children's rights, to take urgent steps to hold those responsible to account.
