Israeli occupation forces fatally shot a 17-year-old Palestinian boy at dawn on Tuesday during a military raid into the northern occupied West Bank city of Nablus, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.
The Ministry confirmed that Hamza Al-Ashqar was shot in the head and killed by Israeli live ammunition during a military raid, near al-Masaken al-Shabiya neighborhood, east of Nablus.
Since the start of the year, Israeli occupation forces and settlers have killed 42 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem, including nine children, according to the Ministry of Health, adding January has been the bloodiest month for Palestinians in the occupied West Bank since 2015 with 35 Palestinians killed by ‘Israel’.
Yesterday, Israeli forces shot and killed five Palestinian resistance fighters in Jericho’s Aqabat Jabr refugee camp, including two brothers, during a brutal assault before seizing their bodies.
