A Palestinian child was martyred overnight during an IOF raid of Balata refugee camp, east of Nablus, in the northern West Bank.

Imad Zaki Al-Tirawi, a member of the Popular Committee of Balata Lama camp, said that the 16-year-old boy, Imad Hashash, was martyred after being shot in the head by IOF soldiers. 

Al-Tirawi added that the IOF stormed the camp at 2:30 am, after which armed clashes took place between the occupation forces and a number of gunmen inside the camp.

In a related context, the IOF also launched violent air raids on targets in the Gaza Strip at dawn Tuesday.
