Al-Qassam Website - Israeli occupation forces (IOF) shot and critically injured a Palestinian child in a violent raid on the occupied West Bank city of Tubas before he was announced dead hours later.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that Palestinian minor Mahmoud al-Ayedi, 17, had succumbed to wounds he received when Israeli occupation troops shot him with a live round in the head in a pre-dawn raid on the al-Fari'ah refugee camp in occupied Tubas.

Al-Ayedi's death brings to 49 the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli occupation troops so far this year, including eleven children and a senior woman.
