Rayyan Yasser Suleiman, 7, died from a heart attack after Israeli soldiers chased him all the way to his home, accusing he and his brother (among a group of other boys) of throwing stones at passing cars.
According to CNN: "Thousands of Palestinians turned out Friday to mourn a seven-year-old Palestinian boy who died, his father said, while being chased by Israeli troops on Thursday – an account rejected by the Israeli army but which prompted the US State Department to call for an investigation.
Rayyan Suleiman was running away from the soldiers in the occupied West Bank village of Tekoa after Israeli soldiers tried to enter his uncle's house, his father Yasser Suleiman told reporters.
"He was with my nephews and the neighbors' children. They were all running away from the soldiers. [The soldiers] came to my brother's house. I prevented them from getting into the house. I told them there is no one at home. They went back to look at the cameras and came back again to my house," Suleiman said. "Rayyan was panicking and ran away from the door behind the house."
A "soldier ran after him until he died of fear," the father said. "I took him in the car to the hospital, yet they stopped me again to check the car although they saw him dead, he put the gun in my head and said that he needs to check the other house."" (source: Abeer Salman and Hadas Gold)
