The Israeli military has killed a Palestinian teenager and injured nine other people in the Balata refugee camp, as Israeli forces step up raids across the occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health said on Saturday that 18-year-old Muhammad Medhat Amin Amer was shot dead during the overnight raid on the camp, located on the outskirts of the city of Nablus in the north of the occupied West Bank.
Nine people are in “critical condition” after being wounded in the raid, which began on Friday night and triggered violent confrontations, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent.
The Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that Israeli soldiers entered the camp from the Awarta checkpoint, deploying “snipers on the rooftops of surrounding buildings”.
In a statement on Saturday, the Israeli military said that soldiers fired on “terrorists”, who had “hurled explosives, molotov cocktails and rocks, and shot fireworks at the forces”.
