From the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights:

• In Tubas, according to eyewitnesses and PCHR’s field documentation of killing and mutilating the boy’s body, at approximately 00:45 on Thursday, 05 September 2024, IOF, accompanied by bulldozers and drones, move into Al-Far’a refugee camp, south of Tubas. Several residents then gathered and threw stones at the Israeli vehicles while the soldiers opened fire on them.
• An hour later, soldiers shot a boy in the western neighborhood of the camp, who appeared to be taking out something from his pocket. They shot him in the leg and then a soldier ordered him to take off his shirt and he obeyed. And when the soldier ordered him take off his pants, the boy tried but couldn’t. Immediately, the soldiers fired two bullets that hit his neck and chest, causing him to collapse. He was left to bleed for approximately an hour and a half, as the soldiers denied medics from reaching him to provide aid or even retrieve his body.
• At around 2:30, IOF brought in a bulldozer and began desecrating the boy’s body, tearing open his abdomen and exposing his internal organs before dragging and throwing him on al-Far’a hill along Nablus-Tubas Road and opposite al-Far’a Valley.
• After IOF’s withdrawal at 06:45, the boy’s body, disfigured and unrecognizable, was retrieved and transported to the Tubas Turkish Public Hospital. The boy was later identified as Majed Fida Abu Zina (17), a resident of the Camp.

• On September 5, 2024, Israeli forces shot and killed 16-year-old Majed Feda Abdulqader Abu Zeina in Al-Far’a refugee camp, south of Tubas in the northern occupied West Bank.
• Majed was shot in the leg at a distance of 30 meters (98 feet) around 1:45 a.m.
• Israeli soldiers blocked a Palestinian ambulance from reaching Majed, despite his pleas for help.
• After discovering a homemade explosive device on Majed, a soldier fatally shot him in the neck at point-blank range.

Desecration of Body:

• An Israeli bulldozer later picked up Majed’s body and drove around the camp for an hour before dumping it in a southern area.
• His body remained on the ground until around 7 a.m. when it was transported to a hospital.

Medical Report:

• Majed sustained three gunshot wounds to one leg and a fatal wound to the neck.
• His body had additional open wounds from the bulldozer’s treatment.

Israeli Military Operation:

• Israeli forces entered Al-Far’a camp around 12:20 a.m. on September 5, deploying snipers and bulldozers, which destroyed roads, shops, and homes.
• This was part of a larger military incursion, “Operation Summer Camps,” targeting refugee camps in the northern West Bank.

Legal Violations:

• The desecration of Majed’s body violates international humanitarian and human rights laws, which prohibit cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment and mandate respectful burial of the deceased.

Wider Context:

• In 2024, Israeli forces and settlers have killed 76 Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank, according to Defense for Children International - Palestine (DCIP).

• Since October 7, 2024, 157 Palestinian children have been killed amid a full-scale military offensive.

• In 2023, 121 Palestinian children were killed by Israeli forces and settlers, many through live ammunition or airstrikes. International Law:

• Lethal force under international law is only justified in cases of direct threat to life or serious injury. Evidence suggests Israeli forces often use lethal force in situations that may qualify as extrajudicial killings.

Documentation of Defense for The Children International Palestine

On Friday September 6, Defense for Children International-Palestine stated that on the previous day, “Israeli forces shot and killed a 16-year-old Palestinian boy in the northern occupied West Bank then desecrated his body.”

The teen, Majed Abu Zeina, “was shot in the leg by an Israeli soldier from a distance of 30 meters” in al-Faraa refugee camp south of Tubas.

“Israeli soldiers approached Majed as he lay injured on the ground and prevented a Palestinian ambulance from reaching him,” according to Defense for Children International-Palestine.

“Majed pleaded with Israeli soldiers to let the ambulance help him, but they ignored him” and one of them ordered him to lift up his shirt, “which revealed a homemade explosive device that Majed was allegedly carrying.” The soldier “then shot Majed at point-blank range in the neck, killing him,” according to the children’s rights group.

Video shows an Israeli military bulldozer moving the boy’s body with the front blade. The soldiers operating the bulldozer drove around al-Faraa with the teen’s body in the blade for an hour before dumping him in another area of the camp.

The Palestinian Center for Human Rights said that the boy’s abdomen was torn open while being carried by the bulldozer and his internal organs were exposed. His body was “disfigured and unrecognizable” when it was finally retrieved following the withdrawal of Israeli troops hours later.

Context :

Since Augustus 28, Israeli began the Military Operation "Summer Camps". Israeli military bulldozers have been conducting large-scale demolitions in Jenin, Tulkarem, and Tubas, leaving these areas uninhabitable. Roads, water, and electricity infrastructure are being destroyed, forcing Palestinian families to flee their homes. Journalists covering the destruction are being targeted. Military raids and arrests continue across the West Bank, particularly in northern cities like Jenin, Tulkarem, and Tubas, as well as Hebron in the south. The entire West Bank, following Gaza, has been declared a military war zone causing the murder of 40 citizens, including 21 from Jenin Governorate, 8 from Tulkarem, 8 from Tubas, and 3 from Hebron, raising the total number of slain Palestinians in the West Bank since October 7, 2023, to 700.

On February 2025, during a 11 days invasion and occupation of the Camp (Wide-scale "Iron Wall" operation), Israeli soldiers invaded and occupied the family home of martyr Majed Abu Zina, and desecrating his memorial leaving feces and condoms behind them.
