Palestinian teenager killed by Israeli sniper in West Bank; 3 others die in Israeli raids

At least four Palestinians have been killed during overnight raids across the West Bank, amid surging violence and attacks by Israeli forces since the war broke out in the besieged Gaza Strip in early October last year.

Israeli troopers fatally shot a young Palestinian man and injured five others during a wide-scale raid in the northern occupied West Bank city of Jenin early on Wednesday,  WAFA reported.

The sources noted that Israeli military force stormed the yard of the Jenin Governmental Hospital in the city, and opened fire directly at a group of civilians who were standing in front of the emergency department, resulting in several injuries.

Medical staff at the hospital said Rabie al-Noursi, in his 20s, succumbed to his serious gun wounds inflicted by the Israeli forces during the raid.
