Israeli army kills Palestinian teen, injures 3 others near Nablus in West Bank
RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) – A teenager was killed, and three others were injured on Friday when the Israeli army opened fire on Palestinians near Nablus city in the northern West Bank.
In a statement, the Palestinian Health Ministry identified the slain Palestinian as 17-year-old Muath Ashraf Bani Shamsa.
Separately, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said its medical teams treated four injured who sustained bullet wounds caused by the Israeli army in Beita, including Muath, who was later pronounced dead in hospital.
The Israeli army has yet to comment on the teen’s death which pushed the death toll of Palestinians in the West Bank since Oct. 7 to 388.
Tensions have been high across the West Bank since Israel launched a war on Gaza on Oct. 7.
