Israeli forces attacked a group of Palestinians in the city of Bethlehem in the West Bank on Tuesday, killing a 15-year-old teenager, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.

Iran PressMiddle East: "The Ministry of Health has recorded the death of a boy, Adam Ayyad, 15, from a bullet wound to the chest by soldiers of the state occupying the Palestinian territories during an aggressive action in Bethlehem," the ministry told Palestinian news agency WAFA.

The Zionist army claimed that the locals started throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails at police officers during the operation in the Bethlehem refugee camp, prompting the latter to open fire.

According to the Palestinian news agency's report, clashes between the Zionist forces and Palestinians erupted when the occupation army forces entered the Dheishe refugee camp in the southern West Bank to search houses.

The teenager became the third Palestinian killed in the West Bank since the beginning of 2023. The Zionist regime forces killed two Palestinians in the city of Jenin on Monday during clashes with Palestinians who were trying to prevent the demolition of the home of the relatives of a Palestinian accused of killing a Zionist regime trooper last September.
