Israeli forces killed a 16-year-old Palestinian boy during a raid on the Qalandiya refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the teenager as Walid Nidal Abu Sneineh and stated that two other children, both 14 years old, were wounded in the incident, sustaining injuries to their lower limbs. Footage also emerged appearing to show an Israeli soldier throwing a stun grenade into a car with young Palestinians inside during the raid. Violence in the West Bank has escalated since the Gaza war began in October 2023, with at least 1,087 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces or settlers in the territory since that date.
