Israeli forces have killed a 16-year-old Palestinian girl during a military raid in the city of Jenin of the occupied West Bank, media reported.  

The Palestinian health ministry identified her as Jana Majdi Zakarneh and announced her killing shortly after midnight on Monday. 
 
Zakarneh was standing on the roof of her home when she was shot dead, according to local media. The ministry said she was shot in the head.
 
At least two other Palestinians were wounded by Israeli fire during the raid, officials said. 
 
Zakarneh is one of more than 50 Palestinian children killed by Israel so far this year in the occupied territories of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip. She is also one of more than 215 Palestinians killed in total in 2022, including 17 women.
