(MENAFN) A 14-year-old Palestinian boy, Moataz Daghlas, was shot dead by Israeli forces in the northern West Bank on Monday, the Palestinian Health Ministry said, as violence continues to intensify across the territory.
In a brief statement, the ministry said the General Authority of Civil Affairs informed it that the teenager was killed in the town of Burqa, northwest of Nablus. It added that Israeli forces are holding his body.
Hours earlier, Israeli troops stormed Burqa and opened fire with live ammunition on Palestinians, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society said. A 17-year-old boy was hit in the abdomen and pelvis, and a 19-year-old man was wounded in the hand. Both were rushed to hospital.
The Israeli side offered no immediate comment on the incidents. Tensions are escalating across West Bank cities, villages and refugee camps.
Figures from the Palestinian Health Ministry show that Israeli forces and settlers have killed more than 70 Palestinians since the start of the year.
