Israeli Troops Kill Palestinian Teen in West Bank Raid
In a statement, the Palestinian health ministry said the 18-year-old was killed by live rounds “to the abdomen” in the town of Kafr Dan early on Friday. He is the seventh Palestinian to be killed by Israeli forces this week.
Israeli troops raided several homes in the town on Friday, triggering confrontations with Palestinian residents by firing sound bombs, tear gas canisters and live ammunition.
The victim was identified as Abdullah Abu Hasan.
Witnesses reported that Hasan was struck in the abdomen by a bullet. Several other Palestinians were also shot and injured during the raid, and several others suffered from breathing difficulties due to tear gas fired by Israeli forces.
Meanwhile, in the city of Nablus, seven Palestinians, including an elderly woman, were injured, and more than 100 others suffered from tear gas inhalation after Israeli soldiers conducted a raid on Friday.
According to Palestinian medical sources, Israeli forces prevented ambulances from reaching the neighborhood where the raid was taking place.
Israeli forces frequently launch raids on various cities in the West Bank under the pretext of detaining what they call "wanted" Palestinians. These raids typically lead to violent confrontations with residents.
