Palestinian children killed in West Bank raid and Gaza
Two Palestinian children died on Sunday following military operations in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. In the New Askar refugee camp near Nablus, 14-year-old Islam Ahmed Ajouri died after being shot in the chest during an Israeli military raid. Local officials noted there were no confrontations that necessitated the use of live ammunition against the child.
In the Gaza Strip, four-year-old Mohammad Abdel Salam Hassan Taha passed away due to injuries sustained earlier. His death highlights critical gaps in medical transport capabilities within the territory. Meanwhile, four other individuals were injured by drone-launched munitions in the Al-Mahatta neighborhood of Khan Younis.
The incidents occurred amidst widespread raids across several West Bank governorates, characterized by house searches, arrests, and the use of tear gas and sound grenades.
