Palestinian teenager shot dead by Israeli forces in occupied West Bank

A 15-year-old Palestinian has been killed during an Israeli raid in the northern West Bank refugee camp of Al-Fari'ah, near the city of Nablus, the health ministry said on Monday.

Another Palestinian was killed by Israeli fire in Tulkarm, where an assault had been ongoing for over 10 hours, the Palestinian news site WAFA reported.

Scores of Israeli soldiers, supported by military bulldozers, entered the camp around midnight, which has been the site of Palestinian bloodshed since 7 October.

Soldiers stormed several homes and damaged Palestinian properties before withdrawing, before returning to the camp again with further military reinforcements, the agency said.

The raid resulted in violent clashes inside the camp, during which Israeli forces fired sporadically at civilians and their homes, resulting in the killing of 15-year-old Mahmoud Ibrahim Nabris and the wounding of five other Palestinians.

Camp residents claimed that Israeli soldiers deliberately damaged civilian infrastructure in the camp, bulldozing sewage, electricity, and water lines and prevented citizens from entering or leaving the camp.

Israeli forces carried out four large-scale raids against the Al-Fari'ah camp since 7 October, resulting in the killing of 17 Palestinians.

At least 534 Palestinians, including 133 children, have been killed in the occupied West Bank since 7 October with 520 injured, according to WAFA.
