On Monday night, the Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed the death of a Palestinian teen whom Israeli soldiers shot during the ongoing offensive on Jenin in the northern West Bank. The slain teen is the tenth Israeli soldier killed Monday; nine in Jenin and one near Ramallah.

The Health Ministry said the soldiers fatally shot Mustafa Nidal Al-Qassem, 17, from the Jenin refugee camp.

Palestinian medics rushed Mustafa to the Jenin governmental hospital, but he succumbed to his serious wounds.

His death brings the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli army fire and shells in Jenin to 9, after the soldiers killed eight earlier Monday, in addition to more than 100 injuries, twenty seriously.

The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the eight slain Palestinians as Samih Firas Abu Al-Wafa, 21, Aws Hani Hannoun, 19, Husam Mohammad Abu Theeba, 18, Noureddin Husam Marshoud, 16, Mohammad Mohannad Shami, 23, Ahmad Mohammad Al-Amer, 21, Ali Hani Al-Ghoul, 17, and Majdi Ar’arawi, 17.
