The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that its teams in Jenin received the body of a 14-year-old child near the main entrance of the town of Arraba, close to Jenin.
According to local sources, Israeli forces opened fire on a Palestinian vehicle at the entrance to Arraba. The child was wounded and detained by the occupation forces, who later handed him over to Red Crescent teams after he had succumbed to his injuries.
The sources identified the martyred child as Ibrahim Imad Hamran, from the town of Arraba.
In a related development, a young man was injured by Israeli gunfire on Wednesday evening during confrontations between youths and Israeli forces west of Nablus.
The PIC correspondent reported that medical rescue teams transferred a 16-year-old who was shot in the thigh with live ammunition to the hospital. Resuscitation efforts (CPR) were being performed on the injured youth.
Israeli forces had stormed central Nablus amid heavy fire of tear gas and live bullets at residents.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with US backing, has waged a campaign of genocidal warfare in Gaza, resulting in over 202,000 Palestinians killed or injured, most of them women and children. More than 9,000 remain missing, in addition to hundreds of thousands displaced and a famine that has claimed many lives.
