Soldier under investigation for fatal shooting by Israeli military police.

An Israeli soldier is being probed by the country's military police over the death of a Palestinian baby in the disputed West Bank region, which Israel occupies.

On Sunday, Israel's military confirmed that its police are conducting a thorough probe into the tragic death of a Palestinian baby at the hands of one of their own soldiers in the West Bank.

On a fateful Friday, a seven-month-old infant named Sam Fahd Abu Haikal tragically lost his life, while his parents suffered injuries in the incident involving an Israeli military police officer's gunfire.

The decision to launch a probe was made after reviewing the initial inquiry's conclusions, according to a statement from Israel's military authorities.

The investigation's outcome will be submitted to the Military Advocate General's Office upon completion of proceedings.

On Friday, Israel's military disclosed that a lone soldier had discharged one bullet into an approaching vehicle suspected of speeding towards their position.

Fahd Abu Haikal, the father of the baby, claimed that while driving through Tel Rumeida near Hebron in the West Bank, he stopped his car when spotting soldiers on the road ahead. A soldier standing just 10 meters away then fired a shot through the windshield after the vehicle had already come to a complete stop.

Fahd recounted to reporters on Saturday that a single bullet had pierced his arm before hitting his son's head and his wife's face through the front windshield.

Details about the soldiers involved in the incident remain undisclosed, with no confirmation on their current operational status.
