Nihal Abu Ayash was wearing his football kit and carrying his school bag when he was shot in the head and killed after Israeli forces opened fire in the West Bank town of Beit Ummar.

The first bullet reportedly hit the 16-year-old in the leg. He collapsed, and as he tried to stand up, he was shot for a second time in the head, according to the schoolboy’s family.

“It was an execution,” said Ziad Abu Ayash, Nihal’s father. “There was no need to kill him. He didn’t have a gun, he didn’t have a tank. There is no excuse. It is a crime.”

    Did you muck up the headline, or is lemmy bugging, because this is the headline I saw in my feed and it’s pretty messed up

      Strange. The headline reads

      Gaza war: ‘It was an execution’: family mourns boy shot dead by Israeli forces

      It must be a bug.

      Addition: would be good if others briefly commented which headline they see.
