On April 11, Amir Haddad, a 12-year-old Palestinian child was shot in the head at close range by Israeli forces during a military raid on the Shuafat refugee camp in occupied Jerusalem.

Amir was reportedly riding his bicycle inside the camp when he was deliberately shot.

He were severly injuried with skull fractures and internal brain bleeding.

Witnesses and residents described the shooting as merciless and claim Israeli forces continued firing even after Amir was hit.

A Red Crescent ambulance crew managed to reach Amir under continued gunfire and transported him to the hospital.

Video footage captured the moments after the shooting, showing Amir bleeding on the ground and continued gunfire in the background.

This hindered emergency response, making it dangerous for others to assist him.

He was transported to hospital in the ICU undergoing complex life-saving surgery.

The incident provoked widespread outrage within the refugee camp, with residents condemning the targeting of civilians and children during raids and expressing concern about escalating violence.
