Witnesses in Ramallah said Israeli forces had driven dozens of
military vehicles into the city, which is the headquarters of
the Palestinian Authority led by President Mahmoud Abbas.
The Palestinian health ministry said Israeli forces shot and
killed 16-year-old Mustafa Abu Shalbak while raiding Am'ari
refugee camp.
The Palestinian news agency WAFA said confrontations broke out
as Israeli forces stormed the camp, "during which live bullets
were fired at Palestinian youths", wounding Abu Shalbak in the
neck and chest.
The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request
for comment.
Violence has surged across the West Bank in parallel to the Gaza
war, with at least 400 Palestinians killed in clashes with
Israeli soldiers and settlers, and Israel regularly raiding
Palestinian areas across the territory it occupied in 1967.
Israeli forces also tore up a main road in the West Bank city of
Tulkarm during a raid there, witnesses said.
WAFA also reported that Israeli forces had stormed the West Bank
city of Nablus, and blew up the home of a man previously accused
by Israel of carrying out an attack in which a British-Israeli
mother and her two daughters were killed in April in the West
Bank.
The man, Moaz al-Masri, was killed by Israeli forces in Nablus
last May.
Israeli forces detained at least 55 Palestinians in raids across
the West Bank overnight, according to The Palestinian Prisoners
Club.
