Palestinian Teen Martyred, Two Children Wounded during Israeli Raid on Qalandiya

IQNA – A 16-year-old Palestinian was martyred and two other children were wounded after Israeli occupation forces raided the Qalandiya refugee camp in the West Bank.

A Palestinian teenager martyred Sunday after being shot by Israeli occupation forces during a raid on the Qalandiya refugee camp north of occupied al-Quds, said the Palestinian Health Ministry.

In a statement, the ministry said Walid Nidal Abu Sneineh, 16, succumbed to his wounds.

It added that two other Palestinian children were injured after being shot in the lower limbs by Israeli occupation forces during the same incident.

Earlier, a four-month-old Palestinian infant martyred after Israeli forces prevented his family for over an hour from taking him to a hospital west of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, said a Palestinian official.

Since October 2023, the West Bank has witnessed an escalation carried out by the Israeli army and Israeli occupiers, martyred 1,175 Palestinians, injuring 12,919 others and leading to the arrest of around 24,000 people, according to official Palestinian data.
