Palestinians responded to the IOF's raids into the village of Burin, where violent confrontations broke out. The IOF fired tear gas, which led to numerous children being injured.
The IOF also stormed the town of Arraba in Jenin after storming the al-Amari camp, south of al-Bireh city.
A 16-year-old boy, Mustafa Abu Shalbak, was martyred on Monday morning, as a result of his wounds shot by the IOF during their storming of al-Amari camp.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that the Palestinian child, Mohammad Khaled Zaid, 13 years old, succumbed to his wounds after being shot by Israeli occupation forces, on Saturday night, near the Jalazone refugee camp, north of Ramallah, in the central West Bank.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that its teams responded to a severe injury case caused by live bullets in the Jalazone camp. They administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation to the injured individual and then transferred them to Ramallah Governmental Hospital for further treatment.
Palestinian media confirmed that the occupation forces shot the Palestinian child, along with another child, near the apartheid separation and expansion wall adjacent to the camp, which is dozens of meters away from the Israeli settlement of "Beit El".
They left him bleeding for about an hour before notifying ambulance crews.

Settler attacks in Burqa, Ramallah
In a related context, this Saturday evening, settlers launched an attack on the homes and vehicles of citizens in Burqa, situated east of the city of Ramallah.
A group of settlers stormed the outskirts of the village, attacked Palestinian homes and vehicles, burned several vehicles, and caused material damage. The Palestinian residents responded to the settlers’ attack and prevented them from advancing toward the center of the village, according to what local Palestinian media revealed.
This evening, Israeli occupation army forces closed the road between the cities of Ramallah and Nablus, near the eastern village of Luban. There was a heavy deployment of settlers on the main road, blocking Palestinian vehicles and preventing them from passing through.
The occupation forces arrested three brothers during their incursion into the town of Beita, south of Nablus in the West Bank.
This evening, al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades claimed responsibility for targeting the "Karmei Tzur" settlement with machine guns.
Early Sunday, IOF raided the West Bank city of Ramallah and murdered a young Palestinian.
Martyr Muhammad al-Deek, who was only 16 years old, was killed after he succumbed to his wounds caused by direct fire from Israeli occupation forces who raided the town of Kafr Ni’ma in Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank.
However, the Israeli occupation did not just raid Ramallah. In what has become a daily practice aimed at terrorizing Palestinians in the occupied West Bank of occupied Palestine, the Israeli occupation raided several cities and detained several Palestinians.
