A child was killed, Sunday evening, after being shot by the Israeli occupation forces, in Askar al-Jadeed camp, east of Nablus.

The Ministry of Health reported, in a brief statement, that the child Moataz Ahmed Abdel Wahab Madani (17 years old) was killed by the occupation forces’ bullets in Askar camp.

The occupation forces stormed the Askar Camp hill area, and fired live bullets, flares and tear gas, which resulted in the child Madani being injured by a live bullet in the chest. He was subsequently transferred by the Palestinian Red Crescent to Rafidia Hospital in the city of Nablus, where he was declared dead as a result of his injuries.
