Eyewitnesses told WAFA that Israeli troops shot several bullets at the Palestinian child, killing him immediately.

Halhoul

Israeli occupation forces shot and killed a Palestinian youth and seriously injured three others in the town of Halhoul, in the southern West Bank, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reported.

According to WAFA, Israeli occupation soldiers raided the town and shot live bullets at the Palestinian residents who were confronting them, killing 21-year-old Mahmoud Ahmad Atrash and injuring five others, three of them seriously.

Many others suffered suffocation from inhaling the tear gas canisters fired by the Israeli soldiers at private homes in the area.
