WEST BANK (Dispatches) –
Zionist troops shot and killed a teenager in the occupied West Bank on Friday, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.
The shooting came during a raid by Zionist forces and stone-throwing Palestinians in a village near the town of Bethlehem, according to Palestinian media reports. The ministry identified the teenager as Mustafa Sabah, 16, adding he was shot in the chest.
Footage posted on social media shows people carrying the teen’s body after the shooting and shouting “Allahu Akbar,” or “God is the Greatest” in Arabic.
Earlier Friday, the army raided the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank and arrested several Palestinians, the regime’s military said. Palestinian media reported that two youths were wounded in ensuing clashes with the military there.
A day earlier, Zionist troops shot dead a Palestinian man in the central part of the occupied West Bank over an alleged stabbing and car-ramming attack against the regime’s troops.
The occupying regime’s military claimed in a statement that the incident occurred near the illegal settlement of Ariel, located close to the Palestinian city of Salfit.
It further alleged that the Palestinian man initially tried to run over soldiers who were at a junction in the area, and then tried to stab them.
The man was shot and killed. No Zionist troops were injured in the incident.
The official Palestinian Wafa news agency later identified the victim as 39-year-old Ahmad Yaqoub Taha.
Videos of the incident circulating on the social media showed a Zionist trooper asking the Palestinian man to get out of his car at gunpoint.
As soon as the man got out of the car, the soldier fired several live bullets at him, killing him on the spot.
On Monday, Zionist troops killed a young Palestinian man and injured three others during a raid on a refugee camp in the eastern West Bank city of Ariha.
The governor of Ariha and the Jordan Valley, Jihad Abu al-Asal, said the man, identified as 20-year-old Suleiman Ayesh, was fatally shot in the Aqabat Jaber refugee camp.
Over the past months, the occupying regime has ramped up attacks on Palestinian towns and cities throughout the occupied territories. As a result of these attacks, dozens of Palestinians have lost their lives and many others have been arrested.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian resistance movement of the Islamic Jihad says it has coordinated a response together with its fellow Lebanese resistance movement of Hezbollah to the Zionist regime’s potential assassination of the resistance’s leaders.
“There exists an agreement between us and Hezbollah over [joint delivering of] a response to the occupying Israeli regime’s potential assassination of one of the resistance’s leaders,” said Walid al-Qatati, a member of the Gaza Strip-based resistance group’s Political Bureau.
