A 19-year-old Palestinian was killed by Israeli army fire after clashes broke out on Wednesday morning in the West Bank.
Sources in the Aqabat Jabr refugee camp near Jericho said that Israeli forces surrounded a house and arrested two young men, where clashes broke out after dozens of young Palestinians began throwing stones at the Israeli forces, who responded by opening fire on the rioters. Durgam al-Akhras was hit in the head and died a short time later.
Also on Wednesday, a Palestinian who was wounded in clashes with Israeli forces in Jenin on Tuesday, died of his wounds, raising the death toll to four killed and at least 30 wounded.
Clashes between the Israeli army and Palestinian militants erupted in Jenin as the IDF surrounded a house in the refugee camp that Palestinians say belongs to Mohammed Abu Albahaa, a member of a military wing of Fatah who had previously served time in an Israeli prison.
The Israeli army also launched an airstrike on the West Bank refugee camp of Jenin, according to the Israeli army and Palestinian Health Ministry.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a gift today!
