The Palestinian health ministry said 17-year-old Auda Muhammad Auda was shot in the chest by zionist occupation forces (ZOF) near the separation barrier west of Ramallah.

The victim was immediately taken to hospital, in very critical condition, where he was proclaimed dead.

Local sources said that the teen was playing along with his friends near the separation barrier before being directly targeted by ZOF gunfire.

Over the past 24 hours, four Palestinians, including a woman, were shot and killed by ZOF gunfire.

Since the start of the year, 62 Palestinians were killed by the ZOF, including women and children. (ILKHA)
