Omar Mohammed Saada Rabea, 14, was shot on the outskirts of Turmus Ayya on Sunday evening along with two other 14-year-old boys, one of whom was seriously wounded. The other suffered minor wounds.

The Israeli military said its troops opened fire at three "terrorists" who were throwing stones towards a highway and endangering civilians driving on it.
