Palestinian teen shot dead by Zionist army in Jenin

A Palestinian teenager was martyred by Zionist regime’s forces early Saturday during a raid in Jenin in the West Bank, the Palestinian Authority health ministry said.

“A 17-year-old boy was killed, and an 18-year-old was critically wounded by the Israeli occupation’s bullets during its aggression on Jenin,” a statement by the PA health ministry said.

 

The Israel Defense (War) Force had no immediate comment. Hebrew media reported that the teen was shot during exchanges of fire between soldiers and Palestinian gunmen, Times of Israel reported.

Jenin refugee camp has served as a flashpoint amid recent tensions following a wave of attacks in Israel and the West Bank in which 19 Israelis have been killed.

Numerous Palestinians have also been martyred, mostly in clashes with Israeli forces.

 

Thirteen Palestinians were injured last week during an operation by Israeli forces in the camp in which one Israeli commando and one Palestinian were also killed.
