The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) reported on Tuesday evening the martyrdom of three Palestinians and the injury of several others by Israeli occupation forces' gunfire at the checkpoints of al-Jib and Shuafat Camp, northwest of the occupied city of al-Quds.
Al-Quds governorate's media confirmed that 13-year-old child Rami Hamdan Halhouli was killed as a result of a direct gunshot to the heart at the Shuafat Camp checkpoint.
Local media sources reported a heavy deployment of Israeli occupation forces at the checkpoint following Halhouli's martyrdom.

The Palestinian Red Crescent also reported injuries by Israeli occupation forces' gunfire near the town of Bidu, northwest of occupied al-Quds.
In the vicinity of al-Aqsa Mosque, Israeli occupation forces erected tents near Bab al-Amoud in the occupied city of al-Quds and turned them into military barracks.
The occupation forces also set up iron barriers around Bab al-Asbat to restrict the movement of Palestinian citizens and prevent them from reaching al-Aqsa Mosque.
The Israeli occupation forces were also deployed at the entrances to the Old City and neighborhoods of occupied al-Quds, hindering the arrival of worshippers and preventing hundreds of Palestinian youths from accessing the al-Aqsa Mosque compound.

Since the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, the Israeli occupation forces imposed restrictions for the second consecutive day on the entry of Palestinian youths to al-Aqsa Mosque compound for the Isha and Taraweeh prayers, allowing men only over the age of 40 and women to enter, while obstructing their movement through checkpoints.
However, the Israeli restrictions did not prevent Palestinian worshippers from flocking through Bab al-Amoud to perform the Isha and Taraweeh prayers at al-Aqsa Mosque.
