A Palestinian child was killed Wednesday overnight by Israeli gunfire, during a military raid in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reported.
The Ministry said in a brief statement that Ahmed Shehada, 16, was killed after Israeli forces shot him with a live bullet in the heart.
The medical sources added that four other Palestinians were injured, one of them critically with a bullet in the abdomen. One was hit with a sound bomb in the head, while others suffered from suffocation due to inhaling toxic gas fired at them by the Israeli soldiers.
