On November 16, 2025, in al-Far’a refugee camp near Tubas, CCTV and bystander videos captured Israeli soldiers shooting Jadallah Jihad Jouma Jadallah, known as Jad, then surrounding him without providing visible aid despite his pleas. Paramedics arrived within eight minutes but were held back at gunpoint for over 35 minutes, as a second ambulance faced the same barrier. The IDF claims Jad threw a rock posing an immediate threat and that they gave initial medical treatment after checking for explosives, but they have withheld details, his body, and declined to address video showing a soldier dropping an object near him. Jad's family and rights groups like B’Tselem call it evidence planting amid broader concerns over child fatalities in West Bank raids.
