Palestinian teen said shot dead by IDF in clash during operation in Jenin
A Palestinian teenager was shot dead by Israeli forces early Saturday during a raid in Jenin in the West Bank, the Palestinian health ministry said.
The Israel Defense Force had no immediate comment. Hebrew media reported that the teen was shot during exchanges of fire between soldiers and Palestinian gunmen.
“A 17-year-old boy was killed, and an 18-year-old was critically wounded by the Israeli occupation’s bullets during its aggression on Jenin,” a statement by the health ministry said.
Jenin refugee camp has served as a flashpoint amid recent tensions following a wave of terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank in which 19 people have been killed. Numerous Palestinians have also been killed, mostly in clashes with Israeli forces.
Thirteen Palestinians were injured last week during an operation by Israeli forces in the camp in which one Israeli commando and one Palestinian were also killed.
An Al Jazeera journalist, Shireen Abu Akleh, was killed last week while covering another Israeli operation in the camp. It is not yet clear whether she was killed by Israeli or Palestinian gunfire. Palestinians have blamed Israel, and have refused to cooperate with an Israeli investigation into the incident.
As her funeral unfolded, Israeli police stormed the grounds of a Jerusalem hospital as the body of the slain journalist was being transported for burial, prompting an international outcry.
