TUBAS, Tuesday, February 14, 2023 (WAFA) – A 17-year-old boy who was earlier today shot and critically injured by Israeli army gunfire in Faraa refugee camp, south of the Jordan Valley city of Tubas, has died of his wounds, said the Ministry of Health.

It said Mahmoud Majed al-Aydi was shot in the head and was in critical condition at a hospital until he was pronounced dead.

A large arm force raided the camp in the early morning hours and surrounded a house.

Clashes broke out between residents and the army force, which used live ammunition against the residents hitting al-Aydi in the head, who was rushed to hospital and later declared dead.

The army left the camp after arresting one person.

With the killing of al-Aydi, the Israeli army and settlers have shot and killed 48 Palestinians, four of them killed by settlers, and include 11 minors, one elderly woman and a prisoner who died in jail.
