Basil Suleiman Abu al-Wafa wanted to go out and play with his friends. The 15-year-old from Jenin, in the occupied West Bank, was described by his uncle as a simple child who devoted himself to his schoolwork and his friends.
Eight-year-old Adam Samer al-Ghoul also played in the streets of Jenin.
On November 29, during a seven-day pause in fighting in Gaza, both were shot dead by Israeli forces. Basil was shot in the chest and died in hospital, while Adam was shot in the head. Their murders were filmed.
Basil and Adam are among at least 275 Palestinians, including 63 children, killed by Israeli forces or armed settlers in the occupied West Bank since Hamas’ surprise attack on October 7.
In Gaza, Israeli air raids and artillery fire also killed 18,000 people during this period, including at least 7,700 children.
Since the start of 2023, at least 483 Palestinians have been killed and more than 12,769 injured by Israeli forces and settlers in the occupied West Bank.
