Israeli occupation forces killed a Palestinian teen and injured several people in a military raid in the Aqabat Jabr refugee camp near the West Bank city of Jericho on Monday morning.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said 17-year-old Muhammad Kamal al-Lada’a was fatally shot in the head and six others were wounded amid clashes with Israeli occupation soldiers, including three listed in serious condition.

Israeli occupation forces confirmed the raid, with Israeli media reporting similar casualties.
The latest raid raised to 96 the number of Palestinian martyred by Israeli occupation forces since the start of 2023.
In separate overnight raids in other areas of the West Bank, the IOF said troops detained 15 Palestinians.
The occupation military said troops also seized an M-16 firearm and other military equipment in Bethlehem. The Palestinian Health Ministry said a 20-year-old was shot in the chest and hand by soldiers, and was listed in critical condition.
Meanwhile, Zionist settlers went ahead with provocative incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Al-Quds (Jerusalem). Backed by occupation forces, Zionist settlers broke into the courtyards of the holy compound.
