Israeli forces kill Palestinian teenager, drag body using bulldozer in Tubas raid
Occupied West Bank (Quds News Network)- A Palestinian teenager was shot dead by Israeli occupation forces in the Far’a camp, south of Tubas in the occupied West Bank on Thursday morning, before his body was dragged using a military bulldozer.
The Red Crescent Society said that its crews were able to transfer Majed Fida Abu Zeina, 16, to the hospital, after the occupation forces prevented them from doing so earlier.
The occupation forces, during their raid of the Far’a camp, had fired several bullets at Abu Zeina, abused him, and prevented the ambulance crews from reaching him, and dragged him out of the camp using a military bulldozer, local sources reported.
During the same raid, five Palestinians were killed in an Israeli air attack on a car and two people were injured, one of them critically.

Israel began a massive military offensive across the West Bank last week that has killed at least 39 Palestinians and wounded 130, with the vast majority of casualties in Jenin.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in a statement on Wednesday that Israeli forces were using “lethal war-like tactics” in the West Bank and that Palestinian children were among those killed.
The military raids, mostly concentrated on the Tulkarem and Jenin refugee camps, constitute Israel’s largest assault on the occupied territory since the second Intifada in the early 2000s.
