A Palestinian child was photographed hiding behind the concrete base of an electricity pole as ‘Israeli’ forces raided the village of Al-Zawiya, west of Salfit in the occupied West Bank, on Wednesday, Sept. 23.
The image shows the child still carrying his schoolbag and visibly frightened as an ‘Israeli’ military vehicle passes nearby.
The episode has drawn attention to the risks faced by Palestinian children traveling to and from school in parts of the occupied West Bank. WAFA, citing education-sector data and UNICEF, reported that 224 education-related attacks were documented in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, during the first half of 2026, directly affecting more than 20,000 students.
