On Tuesday, a Palestinian child succumbed to a critical gunshot wound inflicted on him by the Israeli army earlier this month in the town of Methaloon, south of Jenin in the northern West Bank.

Media sources said that the child, Saif Ziad Ali Amir, 13, a citizen of the Tulkarem governorate, died on Tuesday evening, twelve days after occupation soldiers shot him in the chest with live ammunition.

Due to the severity of his injuries, the slain child was transferred to Rafidia Hospital in Nablus, where doctors announced that he had succumbed to his wounds.

On July 11, Israeli soldiers shot and killed the child, Ali Hassan Ali Rabay’a, 15, and injured two children, including the slain child, Amir, in the town of Methaloon, south of Jenin in the northern West Bank.

In related news, Israeli forces invaded the city of Tulkarem and the Tulkarem refugee camp, assassinated 3 Palestinian young men, and two women, and shot at least five young men.

The Israeli army carried out a targeted assassination operation using an armed drone strike to kill five Palestinians in the Tulkarem refugee camp.

The slain citizens were identified as Mohammad Badea’ Mohammad Radwan, 36, Mohammad Ibrahim Mohammad Awad, 31, Ashraf Eid Zaher Nafe’, 20, and the two women, Eman Abdullah Salem, 56, and her daughter, Bayan Mohammad Jom’a Eid, 22.
