US calls for IDF to review deadly force policies after Palestinian toddler's death.
TL;DR
The US has called on Israel to investigate its use of deadly force among civilians after a two-year-old Palestinian boy died from being mistakenly shot by Israeli troops during a West Bank gunfire exchange last week. The Israel Defense Forces said the killing was an accident and that the incident was being investigated. Tensions between Israel and the Palestinians have been elevated for the past year, with the military carrying out near-nightly raids in the West Bank in the wake of a series of deadly Palestinian terror attacks.
