Arrest of the boy Omar Al-Qiq a day after the start of the Tawjihi despite his severe injuries

Occupation forces arrest the boy Omar Nabil Al-Qiq (16 years old) from his home in Al-Arroub camp north of Hebron, one day after the start of his high school studies (Tawjihi), despite his severe injuries from a previous shooting that hit him with 15 bullets, raising his family's fears of his health deteriorating under detention.

Occupation forces stormed Al-Arroub camp north of Hebron and arrested the boy Omar Nabil Al-Qiq (16 years old) from his home, just one day after the start of his high school studies (Tawjihi), despite his severe injuries and need for medical follow-up and daily treatment. The Al-Qiq family says their son was shot months ago by occupation soldiers, who fired about 15 bullets at him, six of which penetrated his body, causing serious injuries that required his hospitalization and a series of complex surgeries. His father Nabil confirmed that detaining his son in his fragile health condition poses a direct threat to his life, appealing to human rights and medical institutions for urgent intervention. Omar's ordeal began months ago when he was transferred in critical condition to Al-Ahli Hospital in Hebron, where he spent 14 days in a surgical coma. He underwent surgeries including removal of part of his left lung, repair of the diaphragm, complete removal of the spleen, and fixation of complex fractures in his right hand. After leaving the hospital, he continued his recovery at home, adhering to blood-thinning medications and replacement vaccinations. However, his recent arrest interrupted his treatment. Data from prisoners' institutions for 2026 indicate that the number of Palestinian detainees in occupation prisons has exceeded 9,400, including hundreds of children.
