Israeli forces kill 5 Palestinians, including 3 teens, in violent raids across West Bank
Israeli forces have killed at least five Palestinians, including three teenagers, in violent raids across the occupied West Bank.
According to the official Palestinian WAFA news agency, the fatalities occurred after the regime's forces attacked Palestinian civilians at three locations on Sunday.
The youngest victim, identified as 14-year-old Louay al-Sufi, was gunned down after Israeli forces raided the Ain Sultan refugee camp, north of the West Bank city of Ariha, also known as Jericho. The report cited medical sources as saying that the victim was shot in the chest after Israeli troops opened live fire at the camp's residents during the raid.

The occupying regime has escalated its violent raids across the West Bank since October 7 when it started a brutal military onslaught against the besieged Gaza Strip following Operation al-Aqsa Storm by the territory's resistance movements.
Including Sunday's fatalities, nearly 350 Palestinians have been killed across the occupied territory as a result of the escalation.
On the other hand, the regime's genocidal war on Gaza has so far killed nearly 24,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, while leaving over 60,000 others injured.
