Zionist enemy conducted an operation in the West Bank, resulting in the fatality of a Palestinian teenager
In the midst of continued military operations by Israeli forces in the West Bank, a Palestinian teenager has been shot and killed during an incursion into a refugee camp in the northwestern region of the occupied territory.
According to the official Palestinian news agency WAFA, which referenced local sources opting for anonymity, Israeli forces, supported by armored bulldozers, launched an incursion into the Tulkarm refugee camp from the west on Tuesday morning. The operation reportedly resulted in damage to both private and public property.
Clashes erupted between Israeli forces and a contingent of resistance fighters within the camp.
Israeli forces have subsequently established a stringent blockade around the camp, prompting a call for additional military reinforcements. In addition, snipers have been strategically stationed on the rooftops of several buildings to bolster security measures.
A Palestinian youth, Fathi Saeed Awda Salem, lost his life after being struck by live ammunition fired by Israeli snipers in the al-Hadaida area of the camp.
Israeli forces reportedly obstructed Palestinian paramedics from accessing a scene to provide medical assistance to a Palestinian teenager, while allegedly opening fire in their direction indiscriminately.
Subsequently, a series of low-altitude flights by Israeli reconnaissance aircraft were observed intensively over the camp area.
Israeli armored bulldozers have carried out demolitions of public and private properties across various neighborhoods within the camp. A number of shops and residential buildings, as well as parked vehicles, sustained damage. Additionally, barriers were positioned at the entrance of al-Salam Mosque.
The Israeli military operation in the camp resulted in a widespread power outage and interrupted internet services across a significant area of the camp.
In a series of pre-dawn operations on Tuesday, Israeli forces conducted raids in several locations, including the city of Nablus, Hizma, a town situated approximately seven kilometers north of the Old City of Jerusalem, and Sinjil, northeast of Ramallah. At this time, there have been no immediate reports regarding any potential damage or arrests resulting from these operations.
On Monday evening, a raid conducted by Israeli forces in two West Bank towns resulted in injuries to a Palestinian child and a woman, according to local reports.
According to WAFA, an Israeli military operation in the town of Beita, located south of Nablus, resulted in a child sustaining a gunshot wound to the leg from live ammunition.
According to Mayor Mahmoud Barham, Israeli forces entered the town, deploying live ammunition and teargas, leading to clashes. A child was subsequently taken to Rafidia Hospital in Nablus for medical care.
In Husan, a town situated approximately 9 kilometers (5.6 miles) west of Bethlehem, a Palestinian woman sustained a leg injury from Israeli gunfire amid a recent raid, reports indicate.
Since the onset of hostilities in the Gaza Strip in early October 2023, Israeli forces have intensified their operations in the occupied West Bank, resulting in the deaths of at least 824 Palestinians.
According to reports from the Palestinian Ministry of Health, the number of Palestinians injured has surpassed 6,500.
Amid ongoing hostilities, Israeli military operations across the Gaza Strip have resulted in the deaths of at least 45,317 Palestinians, predominantly women and children, according to reports from the conflict zone. These events are part of what has been described as a genocidal campaign in the region.
