US urges ‘immediate’ probe into death of 7-year-old Palestinian during IDF operation
[IsraelTimes] State Department front man says US ’heartbroken’ over incident, notes investigation already being carried out by IDF, which says troops didn’t use violence or enter boy’s home

called for "a thorough and immediate investigation" into the death of a 7-year-old Paleostinian who lost his life in disputed circumstances during an Israeli army operation in the southern West Bank on Thursday.

"The US is heartbroken to learn of the death of an innocent Paleostinian child," US State Department Deputy Spokesman Vedant Patel said when asked about the incident during a press briefing. "We support a thorough and immediate investigation into the circumstances surrounding the child’s death, and I believe the IDF itself has also indicated it will be looking into what has transpired as well."

The Paleostinian Authority Health Ministry claimed Rayan Suleiman fell from an unspecified height after being chased by soldiers near the Paleostinian town of Tuqu’, south of Bethlehem.

Earlier in the day, young Paleostinian village boys were seen throwing stones at cars driving on a highway near the neighboring Israeli settlement of Tekoa. Later, relatives said that soldiers banged on the door and wanted to arrest Rian’s older brothers for alleged stone throwing.

Mohammed Suleiman, a 22-year-old cousin, said Rayan was shrieking in fear at the sight of the soldiers and his parents shouted, "come here," to calm him down. He said after the soldiers left, the boy collapsed. He said Rayan had been healthy.

The boy’s father, Yasser Suleiman, said Rayan tried to run away when the soldiers said they wanted to arrest his brothers and was briefly chased by the soldiers. He said Rayan was vomiting blood in the car after collapsing and was pronounced dead at the hospital. "He was martyred from the fear of them," the father told Paleostine TV.

Lt. Col. Richard Hecht, a military front man, said a senior officer on the scene went to the house after spotting one of the stone throwers on a balcony and told the father to make the children stop throwing stones at motorists. He said the officer spoke in a "very calm manner" and left.

"There was no violence, no entry into the house," Hecht said, adding that there was an ongoing IDF investigation into the matter.

groups claim the Israeli army is incapable of investigating wrongdoing by its forces and that soldiers are rarely held accountable.

Paleostinian social media was awash with photos of Rayan superimposed over the golden Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, with Paleostinians declaring him a "martyr" and condemning Israel for his death. The official Paleostinian news agency Wafa headlined its report "the death of a child while being chased," in effect blaming Israel for the death.

The boy was scheduled to be buried on Friday, when Paleostinian demonstrators often clash with Israeli soldiers.

, and the White House.

"We are troubled by the overall trend of growing violence," she said while panning unilateral actions taken by both parties that have exasperated tensions.

"This includes terrorist attacks and incitement to violence against Israelis. This includes plans to develop Har Gilo west, which would further fragment the West Bank — and possible demolitions in Masafer Yatta. And this includes violence inflicted by Israeli settlers on Paleostinians in their neighborhoods, and in some cases escorted by Israeli security forces," she said.
