The Municipality of Tekoa indicated in a brief message on its Facebook account that the boy is Rayan Yaser Ali Suleiman and added that he was fleeing from soldiers "of the occupation army" who were "chasing students".

The death was confirmed by the Palestinian Ministry of Health, which said through Facebook that the boy was admitted to the Beit Jala Public Hospital, where he died "after falling from a high point while being chased by occupation forces".

According to information provided by Israeli Army Radio, the boy had thrown stones at several soldiers and fell when the soldiers were trying to stop him. The Army has stressed that it is investigating the incident.
