The victim, identified as Khaled Raed Arouq, 16, from Jenin, was reportedly hit by Israeli gunfire in the abdomen. He was subsequently transferred to the Palestine Medical Complex, where he succumbed to his injuries.
Eyewitnesses reported that several Israeli military vehicles stormed the city, taking positions in various neighborhoods including Ramallah Al-Tahta, Al-Tira near Al-Sariya roundabout, and Umm Al-Sharayet in the city of Al-Bireh. A house was also reportedly raided during the operation.
Tensions escalated as confrontations broke out between local citizens and the occupation forces, who responded with live bullets and stun grenades.
Arouq's body will be returned to his hometown of Jenin, where he will be laid to rest. (ILKHA)
