Israel kills two Palestinians, including 16-year-old, in West Bank

Israeli forces have shot dead two Palestinians, including a teenage boy, during separate raids in the Jenin governorate in the occupied West Bank, officials say, with security camera footage showing soldiers shooting the boy at “point-blank” range, Aljazeera reported. 

The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced late on Saturday that Israeli forces shot dead Rayyan Abdel Qader, 16, after storming the town of Qabatiya. The second victim, 22-year-old Ahmad Zayoud, was killed in Silat al-Harithiya, west of Jenin.

Witnesses said Israeli troops had opened fire directly at Abdel Qader, the Wafa news agency reported on Sunday, and blocked emergency crews from reaching him, leaving him to bleed to death. Israeli forces then held his body, the Palestinian agency reported, according to Aljazeera.
