The ministry
charged that the youth killed in the northern Jenin area was a civilian, who
was named as Mahmoud Al-Saadi, 19, by the city’s Deputy Governor Kamal Abu
Al-Rub.
“A civilian succumbed to critical wounds after he
was hit by live occupation (Israeli) bullets in the abdomen, in Jenin,” the
ministry said in a statement, adding that two others were seriously wounded.
Israeli
occupation forces said that alongside using “live fire towards a suspect”, nine
others had been arrested across the West Bank.
The official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported
that the Jenin area clash broke out as Israeli forces “besieged a house”.
After the shooting, a large crowd massed around
Saadi’s body, which was wrapped in white cloth.
Violence has flared this year in the West Bank,
where Israel has launched near-daily raids since a series of attacks in Israel
that killed dozens of civilians.
Abu Al-Rub told AFP that 52
Palestinians had been
killed by Israeli forces in Jenin since the beginning of the year.
The UN says more than 125 Palestinians have been
killed this year across the West Bank.
Israel has occupied the territory since the 1967
Arab-Israeli War.
