Israeli forces have reportedly killed four Palestinian teenagers in the Occupied West Bank within the last 24 hours, as disclosed by Defence for Children International – Palestine (DCIP).
The victims, including 16-year-old Ahmad Mohammad Hamed Abu Al-Haija, 17-year-old Mahmoud Khaled Mahmoud Abu Al-Haija, and 14-year-old Ammar Mohammad Faisal Abu Al-Wafa, lost their lives during an Israeli military operation in Jenin on Saturday evening.
Ammar, shot in the abdomen by an Israeli sniper, succumbed to his injuries as he stood with friends near his residence in Jenin refugee camp's Al-Damj neighbourhood. Ahmad, documenting the military raid with his cell phone, was fatally shot in the chest near the cinema roundabout in Jenin.
Ayed Abu Eqtaish of DCIP criticized the ongoing violence, stating, "While there is a so-called truce with Palestinian armed groups in Gaza, Israeli forces continue to target and kill Palestinian children throughout the Occupied West Bank with complete impunity.”
