Claim 1: “Amir Othman was 16 when Israeli soldiers shot him on a hill near Nablus in the occupied West Bank.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The provided evidence does not mention an individual named 'Amir Othman' being shot. One web search result mentions a 16-year-old named 'Ahmad Amjad Shehada' being killed in Nablus, and another mentions a 7-year-old named 'Othman' killed in Tammun, but neither matches the specific name and circumstances of the claim. No source confirms the specific event involving 'Amir Othman'.
