Locals say that the boy was shot in his chest and was rushed to the hospital where he was declared deceased. 

In northeast Ramallah, five civilians were wounded by live bullets, and dozens suffocated from toxic tear gas, launched by the IOF during confrontations between the forces and locals in the village of al-Mughayyir.

The event took place after illegal settlers ravaged olive groves in the village who were accompanied by armed Israeli troops.

In Jenin, Palestinian resistance fighters confronted Israeli occupation forces storming the Al-Jabriyat neighborhood in Jenin, in the occupied West Bank.

Local sources revealed that resistance fighters discovered a special unit of IOF troops that attempted to infiltrate the camp which resulted in the injury of 2 Palestinians.

Israel has murdered 100 Palestinians so far this year as it continuously storms Palestinian towns and villages in the West Bank.
