Israeli forces killed a 17-year-old Palestinian yesterday during a raid in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian health ministry said.
Hamzeh Al Ashkar was shot in the face by soldiers who raided the northern city of Nablus at around dawn, the ministry said.
The Den of Lions, a group of Nablus fighters, said some of its members exchanged fire with Israeli forces who had “stormed a housing area”.
The group said the killed teenager was from the Askar refugee camp near Nablus but did not claim him as a member.
