On Saturday evening, Israeli soldiers killed a Palestinian child and seriously wounded two young men in Deir Ammar refugee camp, west of Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank’s central part.

Many Israeli military vehicles invaded the refugee camp, leading to protests, and fired many live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs, and concussion grenades.

The Palestinian Health Ministry has confirmed that the soldiers killed Atallah Ziad Badha, 16, after shooting him with live rounds.

It added that the soldiers shot Atallah and two young men with live rounds in the abdomen, chest, and leg.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said its medics resuscitated a young man whom the soldiers shot in the chest before rushing him to the Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah, where he remains in critical condition.

In related news, the soldiers killed Salim Nasser Hajar, 25, and abducted his brother near the illegal Annexation Wall west of Deir Al-Ghosoun town, north of Tulkarem, in the occupied West Bank’s northwestern part.

Also on Saturday, a Palestinian young man, Hamza Ibrahim Mohammad Bishkar, 30, succumbed to wounds inflicted on him by the Israeli forces on Friday evening in Huwwara town, south of Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank.

Their deaths bring the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli soldiers and paramilitary colonizers in the West Bank since October 7th to 291, including children.

In the Gaza Strip, the ongoing Israeli onslaught has killed 18.800 Palestinians and injured at least 51000; most of the casualties are women and children.
