By Harun Nasrullah
(The Muslim News): A Palestinian teen shot by Israeli forces during the military incursion in the Jenin Camp, West Bank on Monday died of her injuries this morning, bringing the total number of Palestinians killed since the raid began Monday, to seven with over a hundred injured, 23 critically.
The latest victim, 15-year-old Sadeel Ghassan Turkman was shot with a live round to the head and remained in critical condition until she succumbed to her wounds.
On Tuesday, the Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed the deaths of Nasser Saleh Mohammad Sinan, 55, and Amjad Aref Al-Ja’as, 48, both shot in the head.
On Monday evening, Israeli soldiers killed a young Palestinian man and injured two after the army invaded Husan village, west of Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank.
Since the beginning of the year, Israeli forces and paramilitary illegal Jewish settlers have killed 174 Palestinians, including 30 children.
The casualties occurred when a special Israeli force staged a raid into the city, witnesses said.
Early Tuesday, four Israeli settlers were killed, and four others injured when two gunmen opened fire at a gas station adjacent to the settlement of Eli between the cities of Ramallah and Nablus.
The attack came a day after six Palestinians were killed and dozens injured in an Israeli military raid in Jenin city on Monday.
The military incursion triggered clashes with angry locals during which Israeli forces used live fire, tear gas canisters, and sound bombs.
An Israeli military helicopter fired missiles at a residential building during the raid, marking the first use of military aircraft by Israel in the West Bank since the height of the second Palestinian Intifada in 2002.
Seven Israeli soldiers and militarised border police sustained light to moderate injuries, according to an army spokesperson.ne
