Israeli forces kill Palestinian teenager during West Bank raid

An 18-year-old Palestinian from the Askar refugee camp near Nablus was fatally shot by Israeli forces during a military raid in the occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa.

The teenager succumbed to critical injuries sustained earlier in the night as Israeli troops carried out an incursion into two neighbourhoods east of Nablus.

Witnesses reported that military vehicles stormed the areas, deploying live ammunition, sound grenades and teargas canisters, leaving residents traumatised and sparking outrage.

Critics have denounced the frequent Israeli raids in the West Bank, arguing that such operations exacerbate tensions and perpetuate violence in the region.
