Palestinian child killed by Israeli forces in Nablus raid
Nablus (QNN)- A 16-year-old Palestinian boy was shot and killed by Israeli occupation forces during a furious raid into the eastern neighborhood of Nablus, north of the occupied West Bank, last night.
The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed that Israeli occupation forces shot Ahmad Amjad Shehadeh, 16, with a live bullet in the chest, killing him.
Large numbers of Israeli occupation forces, accompanied by a military bulldozer, stormed overnight Wednesday the eastern area of Nablus to secure the settlers’ raid into Joseph’s Tomb.

The Israeli forces also targeted a Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance with live bullets, local sources said.
After and during the raid, dozens of Israeli settlers raided the area of Joseph’s Tomb while being backed by well-armed Israeli forces.
Shehadeh is the 200th Palestinian and 51st child to be killed by Israeli occupation forces and settlers since the start of the year, according to the Health Ministry.
