A 15-year-old Palestinian boy was shot and killed by Israeli army forces Tuesday morning in the occupied West Bank, making him
the third Palestinian killed since the start of the new year.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health confirmed that
Adam Ayyad, 15, was shot with live ammunition in the chest, and was pronounced dead early Tuesday morning at a hospital in the southern occupied West Bank city of Bethlehem.
Ayyad was a resident of the Dheisheh refugee camp, the largest of three Palestinian refugee camps in the city of Bethlehem, and was shot during an Israeli military raid into the camp.
Locals from the camp told Mondoweiss that confrontations began shortly after 4 a.m., after Israeli special forces entered the camp in civilian vehicles, followed by a large number of military troops.
