A tragic incident occurred near the city of Jenin in the occupied West Bank, where a 13-year-old Palestinian boy lost his life during a military raid conducted by Israeli soldiers. The boy, identified as Moatasem Abu Abed, was one of three Palestinians who were shot by Israeli forces in the town of Qabatiya, south of Jenin. Unfortunately, one young man sustained serious injuries in the same incident.

According to reports from the Palestinian official news agency WAFA, Israeli forces had deployed military vehicles in the town and positioned snipers on the rooftops of various buildings and shops. A distressing video footage captured the aftermath of the shooting, showing Abu Abed's bleeding body being dragged along the street.

WAFA further stated that Israeli forces obstructed the transfer of the wounded individuals to the hospital by preventing ambulances from reaching the scene. The incident has sparked outrage and calls for accountability.

Source has reached out to the Israel Defense Forces for their response to the tragic event, but as of now, there has been no official statement provided.
