Israeli troops
VS
Amer Rabee's family
Israeli troops are the military forces of the State of Israel, operating in the occupied West Bank.
Amer Rabee's family are the relatives of Amer Rabee, a 14-year-old Palestinian-American citizen who grew up in Saddle Brook, New Jersey, and was killed in the West Bank.
The conflict centers on the circumstances of Amer's death.
Israeli forces say they shot him and two other teens for allegedly throwing rocks, while his family and witnesses maintain that he was picking almonds with friends and was shot at least 11 times, including in the head.
The family has called for justice, and the incident has drawn international attention due to Amer's American citizenship.
