Israeli troops' gunfire claims life of Palestinian toddler.

A Palestinian toddler who was mistakenly shot by Israeli troops in the West Bank last week has died from his injuries. The two-and-a-half-year-old and his father were hit by gunshots as Israeli soldiers returned fire at Palestinian gunmen who had shot toward them at the settlement of Neve Tzuf. The Israel Defense Forces said in a statement after the shooting that the pair was likely hit by mistake, adding that it “regrets harm to [noncombatants] and works to prevent such incidents.” The incident is being investigated in depth.
