"Ajjaq was born and raised in Gretna, Louisiana, across the river from New Orleans. Last summer his parents brought him and his siblings to al-Mazra’a ash-Sharqiya, a village in the West Bank, to help the children reconnect with Palestinian culture.
'[He was] a New Orleans native – a New Orleanian just like me and you,' Mohammad Abdeljabber, the boy's uncle, told WDSU, a television station in New Orleans.
Ajjaq's relatives and local Palestinian news outlets said he was killed by Israeli forces using live rounds. The live ammunition struck him in the head, and he died en route to hospital."
