Palestinian teenager shot dead by Israeli forces in West Bank

A 15-year-old Palestinian was killed in an Israeli raid on the Al-Fari’ah refugee camp in the northern West Bank near the city of Nablus, the Health Ministry said on Monday.

Another Palestinian was killed by Israeli fire in Tulkarm, where an attack had been going on for over 10 hours, according to the Palestinian news site WAF reported.

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

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

The raid led to violent clashes inside the camp, with Israeli forces sporadically firing on civilians and their homes, killing 15-year-old Mahmoud Ibrahim Nabris and injuring five other Palestinians.

Camp residents claimed that Israeli soldiers deliberately damaged the camp’s civilian infrastructure by destroying sewage, electricity and water lines and preventing citizens from entering or leaving the camp.

Since October 7, Israeli forces have carried out four large-scale raids on Al-Fari’ah camp, killing 17 Palestinians.

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