Palestinian teenager shot, killed by Israeli forces near Ramallah

Israeli forces have shot dead a Palestinian teenager in the central sector of the West Bank, as tensions run high across the occupied territory due to the Tel Aviv regime’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.

The shooting, which was announced on Monday evening, occurred in the town of Sinjil, located 15.5 kilometers (9.6 miles) northeast of Ramallah, as Israeli forces stormed a local neighborhood.

The official Palestinian news agency WAFA, citing a statement by Sinjil Municipality, reported that the 15-year-old Fuad Yusef Abdulkarim Fuqaha sustained grave gunshot wounds as confrontations broke out in the northern side of the town.

The municipality added that Fuqaha succumbed to his injuries shortly afterwards, and his body is still being withheld by Israeli occupation forces.
