The Palestinian Health Ministry reported on Friday that an Israeli operation in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin resulted in the death of a Palestinian adolescent.
According to a statement from the ministry, 19-year-old Salah al-Buraiki was shot in the neck and later died. Three additional Palestinians were reportedly injured.
According to Palestinian accounts, Israeli forces entered multiple buildings and stationed snipers on their rooftops, sparking clashes with occupants.
According to the Israeli army, during the operation, “Security personnel retaliated with live fire after suspects threw explosive devices and fired firearms. Hits were discovered.”
In the West Bank on Thursday, businesses, offices, and schools were shuttered as Palestinians went on strike in opposition to Israel’s execution of a man believed to have killed an Israeli soldier earlier in the month.
On the outskirts of an illegal encampment, Udai Tamimi was shot and killed late on Wednesday.
One month after being wounded by Israeli military personnel, a 16-year-old Palestinian teenager died from his gunshot wounds on Thursday, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
At the northern gate to the neighboring city of Al-Bireh in September, Mohammed Fadi Nouri, a resident of the Palestinian city of Beitunia, was shot in the abdomen.
This year, Israeli troops killed more than 120 Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, making 2022 the bloodiest year since 2015.
