Palestinian teen shot by IDF in November left to bleed out for almost 45 minutes — report
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA Palestinian teenager who was shot by the Israeli army in the al-Faraa refugee camp in the northern West Bank two months ago was left to bleed out for nearly 45 minutes, according to testimonies cited by the Haaretz daily.
Jadallah Jadallah, 14, was shot by troops on the evening of November 16, 2025. The IDF said at the time that soldiers of the Paratroopers Brigade’s reconnaissance unit opened fire on a Palestinian “terrorist who attempted to harm troops” during a raid in the area.
Haaretz publishes footage showing soldiers standing around Jadallah after he was shot, where he can still be seen moving. The video also shows a soldier placing a stone next to Jadallah’s body.
The outlet cites witnesses as saying that he was shot, at the latest, at 4:45 p.m. that day, and was only attended to by military medics at 5:28 p.m. His body was taken away from the scene at 5:35 p.m. by the army, Haaretz reports.
Responding to Haaretz, the IDF says that the claim “that the force did not provide medical treatment is false.”
“A terrorist was identified throwing a concrete block at the force, posing an immediate threat. The force fired at the terrorist to neutralize the threat, as a result of which he was wounded. After verifying that the terrorist was not carrying an explosive device on his body, the force provided him with initial medical treatment,” the military says.
The IDF says that the “claim that the force placed stones near the terrorist’s head is not known” and is under further review.
