Ramallah, March 6 (RHC)-- Israeli forces have killed another Palestinian teenager in the occupied West Bank in what has been described as their largest raid into Ramallah in years.   They also abducted dozens of others.  

The regime troops raided the Am’ari refugee camp in Ramallah overnight.  The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed on Monday that Israeli forces shot and killed 16-year-old Abu Shalbak.

Confrontations broke out during which live bullets were fired by Israeli soldiers at the Palestinians protesting the raid.  Abu Shalbak was shot in the neck and chest. He was transferred to the Palestine Medical Complex, where he was announced dead.

Witnesses in Ramallah said Israeli forces had driven dozens of military vehicles into the city. Television footage showed military vehicles leaving the camp as troops with rifles stood nearby.

Several hours after the raid, Israeli occupation forces stationed themselves at the main entrance to the camp, witnesses said.

Some media reports said the latest raid into Ramallah could be Israel’s biggest in years.  The city of Ramallah is the administrative seat of the Palestinian Authority.

According to media reports, Israeli troops abducted 20 Palestinians in the city of al-Khalil and its surrounding region.

Israeli military forces have arrested at least 7,335 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, ever since the Tel Aviv regime launched its brutal onslaught on the Gaza Strip in early October last year.

The Israeli military also blew up an apartment in Nablus as part of the regime’s campaign to demolish Palestinian structures.

Elsewhere in Tulkaram, Israeli bulldozers destroyed some infrastructure in the Nour Shams refugee camp.

“Every time they enter the camp, they destroy more than the previous time,” said Ibrahim Hamarsheh, a resident of the camp who heads the Tulkarm branch of the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club, which advocates the rights of Palestinian inmates.

The regime has intensified incursions across the West Bank since it began its savage campaign in the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023.  The raids, combined with settler violence, have left more than 400 Palestinians dead.

150 days into the Israeli onslaught on Gaza, the regime has carried out more deadly attacks on civilian targets.  Occupation forces have killed at least 30,500 Palestinians and injured nearly 72,000 in Gaza since that October day.
