Israeli military forces have reportedly shot and killed a Palestinian teenager at point-blank range in the northwestern sector of the West Bank, as the Tel Aviv regime’s incumbent far-right administration intensifies deadly raids across the occupied territories.
The official Palestinian news agency Wafa, citing local sources, reported that Israeli troops broke into Nur Shams refugee camp, located three kilometers (1.8 miles) east of Tulkarm, early on Friday, triggering confrontations with residents.
The sources added that Palestinian resistance fighters exchanged gunfire with the invading Israeli troops. There were no reports of any injuries among the forces.
According to eyewitnesses, the Israeli soldiers fired a barrage of live rounds, tear gas canisters and concussion grenades at young Palestinians who resisted the incursion.
Israeli troops shot 18-year-old Mahmoud Abu Sa’an in the head with a live round, reportedly at point-blank range.
The injured teenager was transported to Martyr Dr. Thabet Thabet Government Hospital in Tulkarm, where doctors pronounced him deceased shortly after arrival.
Sources added that Sa’an had just graduated from high school this year.
