An eight-year-old boy and a 15-year-old teenager They died this Wednesday at the hands of the Israeli army in Jenin, a city in the northern occupied West Bank that is regularly the scene of Israeli military incursions, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reported.
At the same time, the Israeli army detained a 12-year-old boy in the Jalazone refugee camp in Ramallah, reported the Prisoners’ Club, a Palestinian NGO.
In Jenin, the Ministry declared that “the two children, Adam al-Ghouleight years old, and Bassem Abou el-Wafa15, were killed by bullets fired by the Israeli occupiers.”
An official from the Palestinian Red Crescent told AFP that the boy and the teenager were “on a street perpendicular to the main avenue in the center of Jenin”, an area theoretically closed to the Israeli army because it is controlled solely by the Palestinian Authority.
CCTV footage posted online showed a child being shot on a street, while the bullets caused other children nearby to flee.
