JERICHO, Saturday, October 21, 2023 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces this morning shot and killed a 17-year-old boy during an assault on the ancient city of Jericho, east of the West Bank, according to the Ministry of Health.

Mohammad Suleiman Nawaja was hit by several bullets during confrontations with soldiers that raided Jericho and its two refugee camps, Aqbat Jabr and Ein al-Sultan, where the Israeli occupation forces demolished a house for the Shaloon family whose son is allegedly involved in an attack on Israelis, according to local sources.

The killing of Nawaja raises the number of Palestinians Israel killed in the West Bank to 84 since October 7.
