Palestinians: Israelis shoot young people in the West Bank

The article reports that Israeli soldiers shot a 16-year-old Palestinian teenager in a refugee camp near Ramallah, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. Two other teenagers aged 14 were injured in the incident. The Israeli military did not respond to a query from the AFP news agency regarding the operation. This follows a similar incident where a 15-year-old was killed by Israeli forces near Ramallah last Monday. The Israeli military claimed that 'violent riots' occurred during an army operation, with soldiers being pelted with stones and firing shots at a suspect. Since the October 7, 2023 attack by Hamas in the Gaza Strip and the subsequent Gaza War, violence has increased significantly in the West Bank. According to AFP data based on figures from the Palestinian Ministry of Health, at least 1,087 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli soldiers or settlers in this period. In the same timeframe, at least 46 Israelis—soldiers and civilians—have been killed, according to Israeli authorities.
