Hamas-controlled media outlets in Gaza report that Obeida al-Eid, a 10-year-old boy, died yesterday after being shot by IDF troops in the al-Mawasi area of the Strip.
According to the reports, he was taken to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
The Times of Israel cannot independently verify the report and the IDF has yet to respond.
