'Israeli' raid near Jerusalem kills Palestinian teenager

• Palestinian health ministry says teenager killed, two others wounded during 'Israeli' raid near Jerusalem

A 16-year-old Palestinian was killed and two other children were wounded by 'Israeli' gunfire during an 'Israeli' military raid on the Qalandiya refugee camp north of occupied East Jerusalem on Sunday, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

The ministry identified the deceased as Waleed Nidal Abu Snineh, saying he succumbed to gunshot wounds sustained during the raid. It added that two other children were shot in the lower limbs.

Videos circulated on social media were said to show the moment Abu Snineh was shot during the operation.

According to Palestinian officials and local sources, 'Israeli' forces entered the Qalandiya refugee camp, sealed its entrances and deployed across several neighborhoods, firing live ammunition, tear gas and stun grenades, triggering clashes with Palestinian youths.

Local sources said 'Israeli' forces also fired live rounds and tear gas toward civilian vehicles near the nearby Sikal junction, where a girl was reportedly shot. She was transferred to the Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah in serious condition.

The Jerusalem Governorate said Palestine Red Crescent Society medics also treated a young man who was shot in the thigh during the raid and transferred him to hospital for treatment.

At the same time, 'Israeli' forces raided the nearby town of Kafr Aqab, north of Jerusalem, and detained three young men whose identities were not immediately known, according to the Jerusalem Governorate. No injuries were reported during that operation.

The governorate said 'Israeli' forces remained deployed in parts of the Qalandiya refugee camp after the raid, with no immediate reports of house searches or arrests inside the camp.

In a separate incident later on Sunday, Palestinian officials said a four-month-old infant, Ahmed Maarouf Zaid, died after 'Israeli' forces allegedly prevented his family from passing through a military checkpoint at the entrance to the village of Deir Ammar, west of Ramallah, while they were attempting to take him to hospital.

Ramallah and al-Bireh Governor Laila Ghannam said the infant was delayed for more than an hour at the checkpoint before reaching medical care. She accused 'Israeli' forces of obstructing access to treatment, describing the incident as part of broader restrictions on movement across military checkpoints.
