Assassination of Mohammed Bahjat Al-Hallaq 11 y/o

On October 16, 2025, an 11-year-old Palestinian child, Mohammad Bahjat Al-Hallaq, was pronounced dead on Thursday evening after succumbing to wounds sustained earlier in the day when Israeli occupation forces opened fire in the village of Al-Rihiya, south of Hebron.

Israeli soldiers fired live bullets toward a group of children who were playing football in the yard of Al-Rihiya Girls Secondary School. The child was struck by a bullet that penetrated his pelvis and was transferred to a nearby hospital in critical condition before he was later pronounced dead.

Al-Hallaq was a fourth-grade student.

Name of the martyr:

Mohammad Bahjat Al-Hallaq, 11 y/o
