A settler murdered an unarmed boy today, in the 10th grade, Amjad Abu Alia, as he protested land theft. Video shows he was shot in the back. On my way home, I saw settlers put up a black, facist, sign in Masafer Yatta: An assault rifle in a star of david. pic.twitter.com/bWJy82hLoG

Wafa says the youth was shot Friday afternoon and he succumbed and died shortly after because of his critical wounds as a result of live ammunition fired by Israeli soldiers to his chest in the course of confrontations in Al Mughayer.
