The Israeli regime’s forces have killed and abused a 16-year-old Palestinian in the north of the occupied West Bank, amid the illegal entity’s ramped-up aggression in the area over the past week.

Palestine's official Wafa news agency said on Thursday that the teenager, identified as Majed Fida Abu Zeina, was fatally shot by the Israeli occupation forces in the Far'a refugee camp near Tubas in the north of the West Bank.

“The occupation forces, during their storming of the Far'a camp, had fired several bullets at Abu Zeina, abused him, and prevented the ambulance crews from reaching him, and dragged him out of the camp using a military bulldozer,” the news agency reported.

“In conjunction with the storming of the Far'a camp, an occupation march bombed a vehicle in the city of Tubas, which resulted in the killing of five young men.”

The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said its crews finally transferred the 16-year-old to the hospital after the occupation forces had prevented them from doing so earlier.

In a statement earlier in the day, the PRCS confirmed that an Israeli strike had hit a car in Tubas and claimed the lives of five Palestinians.

On August 28, the Israeli occupation forces launched a large-scale aggression on the West Bank, especially its north, which has so far resulted in the killing of 39 Palestinians, including 21 from Jenin, 8 from Tulkarm, 7 from Tubas, and 3 from al-Khalil.

The total number of deaths in the West Bank since October last year stands at 699.

The heightened tensions in the occupied West Bank come as the Israeli regime has since October 7, 2023 been conducting a barbaric onslaught on the besieged Gaza Strip, killing more than 40,800 people, most of them women and children.
