A Palestinian youth has died after being left to bleed by Israeli forces who shot him with live ammunition in Hebron (Al Khalil), while fierce clashes erupted between resistance fighters and troops who stormed a town north of Jenin in the occupied West Bank.
Majd Shaher ‘Arameen, 14, was shot by Israeli forces near the town of Sa’ir, north-east of Hebron on Sunday evening, according to the official Palestinian news agency, WAFA, citing the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
Israeli forces then prevented the Palestinian ambulance crews from reaching him, leaving him to bleed on the ground. The youth later succumbed to his wounds.
Jenin Raid
In the town of Kfar Dan in the north of Jenin, Israeli occupation forces engaged in fierce clashes with resistance fighters after storming the town in the early hours of Monday.
The official Resistance News Network (RNN) shared footage of numerous explosions which took place in the town in the early hours of Monday.
