Palestine (Imemc and Agencies): Israeli forces shot and killed a 15-year-old boy on Thursday and seriously wounded two Palestinians, including a child who suffered serious wounds, in Azzoun town, east of Qalqilia, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
Local media sources said several army jeeps invaded the town, leading to protests, and fired many live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs, and concussion grenades.
The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed that the soldiers killed Mohammad Nidal Salim, 15, after shooting him with live rounds in the back.
The Health Ministry added that the soldiers shot another child in the chest, causing life-threatening wounds, and moderately injured a young man in the arm.
In a Facebook post, Mohamamd’s uncle, Reyad Saleem, said his nephew was named after his cousin, Mohammad Nizar Saleem, who was also a child when Israeli soldiers killed him on March 14, 2003.
On Wednesday, Israeli soldiers killed Mahmoud Jamal Hasan Hamdan, 22, in the Aqabat Jaber refugee camp in Jericho, in the northeastern West Bank.
