A Palestinian teenager was killed by Israeli forces on Saturday morning in a raid in Jenin, in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said.
17-year-old man killed, 18-year-old seriously injured by Israeli occupation bullets in Jenin attacksays a press release from this ministry.
The Jenin refugee camp has been the center of tension recently following attacks in Israel that killed 19 people.
Thirteen Palestinians were injured last week in an operation by Israeli forces in the camp in which an Israeli soldier and a Palestinian were also killed.
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett identified this Israeli soldier as Noam Raz.
The Palestinian was later identified as Daoud al-Zubaidi, a brother of Zakaria al-Zubaidi, who led the armed wing of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah movement and briefly escaped from an Israeli prison last year.
The attacks took place hours before violence broke out at the funeral of Shireen Abu Akleh, an Al-Jazzera journalist who was killed last week while covering another Israeli raid on the camp.
At his funeral, Israeli police stormed the grounds of a hospital in Jerusalem while delivering the journalist’s body for burial, causing international outcry.
