Israeli forces linked to infant deaths in West Bank

Overview

The deaths of seven‑month‑old Sam Fahd Abu Haikal in early June 2026 and four‑month‑old Ahmad Marouf Zaid on 27 May 2026 have kept Israeli‑forced medical delays in the occupied West Bank in sharp focus.

A July 5 report reiterated that Israeli soldiers stopped Zaid’s ambulance at the Deir Ammar checkpoint for more than an hour, used tear‑gas on residents, and that the delay denied timely care at the Arab Specialized Hospital. Governor Laila Ghannam and the hospital’s physicians called the infant’s death “a stain on the conscience of humanity,” alleging it reflects a policy that restricts Palestinian freedom of movement and access to health care.

The same day Israeli forces shot dead 16‑year‑old Waleed Abu Sneineh in Qalandiya refugee camp and injured two 14‑year‑old boys, underscoring a broader surge in violence. The Palestinian Health Ministry now records at least 1,087 West Bank deaths since the October 2023 Gaza war, while Gaza health officials cite more than 73,000 deaths and 173,000 injuries.

Human‑rights monitors add both infant deaths to B’Tselem’s tally of child fatalities tied to Israeli security actions, now exceeding 200 across Gaza and the West Bank. UN bodies, Amnesty International and several foreign missions continue to demand transparent investigations and accountability, while Israeli authorities maintain checkpoints are necessary for security and internal military reviews proceed.
