Teen Shot Dead In West Bank By IOF

Israeli forces have shot and killed a teenager in the town of Arrabeh, south of Jenin in the occupied West Bank, Wafa reported. The Israeli forces were stationed at the western entrance to the town and fired directly at Ibrahim Imad Ahmed Mahmoud Hamran, 14, killing him. The Palestine Red Crescent Society confirmed to Wafa that its crews received the child and transferred him to a hospital in Jenin.
Hamran becomes the second teenager killed by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank in the last 24 hours, as Ibrahim Nasr was killed after being shot in the chest by Israeli forces in the town of Qabatiya, south of Jenin, last night. Since January, at least 44 people have been killed in the Jenin governorate by Israeli forces.

Since the war on Gaza started, thousands of Israeli settlers have enlisted in the Israeli military’s reserve units.
Many serve in the occupied West Bank, where human rights organizations say, they protect settlers during attacks on Palestinians and their properties.
As the settlers gain access to more weapons, Palestinians say the severity of their attacks has increased.
