Israeli troops killed a seven-month-old Palestinian baby in the occupied West Bank and injured one of the child's parents on Friday after opening fire on the family's car, despite it having complied with an order to stop.

Soldiers opened fire on a car carrying the infant and his parents in the Tel Rumeida area of Hebron. The seven-month-old, Sam Fahd Abu Haikal, was critically injured, evacuated in critical condition to a local hospital, where he later died. His parents were also injured.
