9-year-old Muhammad al-Hallaq: Killed by an Israeli bullet on his birthday

While the mother of 9-year-old Muhammad Bahjat al-Hallaq, from the town of al-Rihiya, south of Hebron, was preparing a birthday cake for him and planning to celebrate after he returned from playing soccer with his friends, the occupation’s bullet was faster than her mother’s dreams. The bullet fired by an Israeli soldier ended the life of the child Muhammad and her mother’s dreams, turning the family’s long-awaited joy into unbearable grief.

The question here is: What threat did 9-year-old Muhammad al-Hallaq pose to warrant his being shot and his life ended?
