Palestinian teen succumbs to wounds sustained by Israeli gunfire

A Palestinian teenager has succumbed to his wounds after being critically injured by Israeli gunfire during a military raid on town in eastern occupied West Bank city of Nablus.

Medical sources confirmed that 17-year-old Abdul Khaleq Jbour succumbed to critical injuries after being shot in the chest by Israeli forces. He was rushed to the hospital, where doctors attempted to resuscitate him, but he was later pronounced dead.

Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps are witnessing a heavy deployment of Israeli occupation forces, firing live ammunition and sound bombs. This coincides with a tight siege of these camps, accompanied by raids and vandalism of homes, and forcing the remaining residents to evacuate their homes at gunpoint.

The Israeli occupation forces also continue to seize homes and residential buildings on Nablus Street and the adjacent northern neighborhood, converting them into military barracks after forcibly evacuating their residents. Their vehicles and bulldozers are stationed in the vicinity.

Israeli occupation forces suppressed a protest organized by residents of a village in the Masafer Yatta area, south of the occupied al-Khalil, on Saturday, against colonists' attempts to seize their lands.

Rateb Jabour, coordinator of the Wall and Settlement Resistance Committees, said that the residents of Al-Zweidin village held a sit-in on their lands, which the colonists are attempting to seize by force, and built shacks on them.

The occupation forces suppressed the protest, forcing residents to leave their lands, and declared the Al-Shomra area in the Bedouin desert a closed military zone.
