Israeli forces kill US teen in West Bank, sparking outrage | JQJO

The killing of 14-year-old Palestinian-American Amir Rabee by Israeli forces in the West Bank has sparked outrage. Rabee, a New Jersey native, was reportedly picking olives when shot. The Israeli military claims he was throwing rocks at a highway. His family and U.S. officials are demanding answers, with the U.S. State Department confirming his death and acknowledging the Israeli military's investigation. This incident follows a rise in violence against Palestinians in the West Bank and adds to the five U.S. citizens killed there since October 2023.
