Israeli soldiers shot dead two Palestinian teenagers near a Jewish settlement in the occupied West Bank on Sunday, according to multiple reports published on Monday. The incident occurred near the settlement of Ma’ale Adumim, where witnesses and Palestinian media said the teens were allegedly throwing Molotov cocktails at the time of the shooting. The deaths were confirmed by Israeli and international outlets, including Reuters , Dutch newspapers *Trouw* and *De Morgen* , and the Slovak daily *Aktuality.sk* .
According to *Aktuality.sk*, the Israeli military stated the two teenagers were shot after they allegedly attacked a Jewish settlement with incendiary devices. The report did not specify whether the teens were armed or whether Israeli forces issued warnings before opening fire. Palestinian witnesses quoted by *Trouw* and *De Morgen* described the scene as chaotic, with no immediate confirmation of an imminent threat. The Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Health in Ramallah named the victims as 16- and 17-year-old boys from the village of Abu Dis, east of Jerusalem.
The shooting follows a pattern of escalating violence in the West Bank, where Israeli settlers and security forces have increasingly restricted Palestinian movement and demolished structures in recent weeks. On Sunday, Israeli settlers blocked the Muarrajat road linking Jericho and Ramallah and attacked Palestinian vehicles, according to the Turkish outlet *Yeni Şafak* . The Israeli military also issued demolition notices for ten homes and agricultural facilities near Bethlehem, the outlet reported.
International observers and human rights groups have repeatedly condemned such incidents, citing disproportionate use of force against Palestinian minors. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) recorded 42 Palestinian fatalities in the West Bank during the first five months of 2026, including at least six children. The Israeli military has not publicly commented on the latest shooting beyond initial statements to Reuters.
The deaths come amid a broader deterioration in security across the region. On the same day, a rare school shooting in Tacloban, Philippines, left three students dead and seven wounded, according to Al Jazeera and ORF . Two suspects, also students, were arrested. While the motives remain unclear, the incident underscores the global scale of youth violence outside the Israeli-Palestinian context.
Palestinian officials have called for an immediate investigation into Sunday’s shooting, demanding accountability from Israeli authorities. The Israeli military typically conducts internal probes into such incidents, though critics argue these rarely lead to prosecutions. With tensions already high, the latest fatalities risk further destabilising an already volatile situation in the West Bank.
