Palestinian teen shot by Israeli troops in West Bank raid succumbs to injuries
A young Palestinian has died from wounds sustained hours earlier when Israeli military forces raided the northern part of the West Bank and opened fire, as tensions are escalating across the occupied Palestinian territories as a result of the Israeli military’s repression and acts of aggression.
The official Palestinian news agency WAFA, citing the Palestinian Ministry of Health and medical sources, identified the 18-year-old victim as Mahmoud Saadi, noting that he was shot early on Monday during clashes between local residents and Israeli military forces as the latter stormed the city of Jenin.

He was admitted to the intensive care unit before he was pronounced dead shortly afterward.

On Sunday evening, a group of Israeli settlers viciously attacked a Palestinian child in the southern part of the occupied West Bank and inflicted serious injuries on him after severely beating him up.
WAFA reported that the settlers assaulted the minor, identified as Yazan al-Rajbi, near the illegal settlement of Kiryat Arba on the outskirts of al-Khalil, inflicting various cuts and bruises on his face. He had to be transferred to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.

More than 600,000 Israelis live in over 230 settlements built since the 1967 Israeli occupation of the West Bank and East al-Quds.
All Israeli settlements are illegal under international law. The UN Security Council has condemned Israel’s settlement activities in the occupied territories in several resolutions.
According to human rights groups, acts of violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians and their property are a daily occurrence throughout the occupied West Bank.
Israeli forces have recently been conducting overnight raids and killings in the northern occupied West Bank, mainly in the cities of Jenin and Nablus, where new groups of Palestinian resistance fighters have been formed.
Israel has killed 197 Palestinians since the start of 2022 in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, including 43 children.
According to the United Nations, the number of Palestinians killed by Israel in the occupied West Bank this year is the highest it has been in 16 years.
Local and international rights groups have condemned Israel’s excessive use of force and “shoot-to-kill policy” against Palestinians.
