The Palestinian Health Ministry announced the death of 17-year-old Mohammad Wahbi Hanani from wounds sustained after being shot by Israeli occupation forces in the town of Beit Furik, east of Nablus.

The teen had been shot in the head during an Israeli raid on the town, while another youth was wounded in the leg.

The incident comes amid escalating Israeli occupation assaults in the West Bank since the onset of the war of extermination on Gaza, which has left thousands killed and injured.
