Israeli forces shoot dead Palestinian teen in Nablus raid, wound two others

Israeli forces have shot and killed a Palestinian teenager during an overnight raid on the Old Askar refugee camp east of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS)  told Al Jazeera that 19-year-old Hassan Sharkasi was shot in the abdomen. Paramedics tried to resuscitate him while transferring him to Rafidia Hospital in Nablus, but he succumbed to his wounds and was pronounced dead on arrival.

Wafa news agency reported, also citing PRCS, that another young man was shot in the back during the raid and was transferred to hospital for treatment.

The Israeli military issued a statement confirming that its soldiers had shot and killed a Palestinian man in what it described as an “offensive operation” in the Nablus area overnight. It claimed the victim “threw an explosive device at the force”.

Wafa  also reported that Israeli soldiers shot and wounded a 26-year-old Palestinian man in another raid north east of Jerusalem. The PRCS said medics treated the man at the scene and transferred him to hospital.
