Israeli Troops Use Live Fire, Injure Minor in West Bank Raid
During the Sunday raid, several people, including a 16-year-old teenager, were injured with Israeli live ammunition, local reports said.
He was immediately taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The development came days after a Palestinian teenager, Abdullah Emad Abu al-Hasan, 18, was shot and killed s during an assault on the village of Kafr Dan northwest of Jenin.
Israeli forces launch raids on various cities of the West Bank almost on a daily basis under the pretext of detaining what the regime calls “wanted” Palestinians. The raids usually lead to violent confrontations with residents.
More than 200 Palestinians have been killed this year in the occupied Palestinian territories and Gaza. The majority of these fatalities have been recorded in the West Bank.
Those figures indicate that 2023 is already the deadliest year for Palestinians in the West Bank since the United Nations began keeping track of fatalities in 2005.
Previously, 2022 had been the deadliest year with 150 Palestinians killed, of whom 33 were minors, according to the United Nations.
