11-year-old killed by Israeli army gunfire in Nablus

Israeli occupation forces Tuesday evening killed an 11-year-old Palestinian child in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, according to the Health Ministry.

The Ministry announced that Abdullah Jamal Hawwash succumbed to his injury after being shot by Israeli occupation forces in the city.

WAFA correspondents reported that Hawwash sustained an injury from the gunfire of the occupation forces while the latter were withdrawing from the city following a raid that resulted in the detention of a young man from the Old Town of Nablus.

Earlier this evening, Israeli special forces raided the Old Town of Nablus and made their way to the Qaryoun neighborhood, simultaneously while firing barrages of smoke bombs before detaining a young man.

This brings the total death toll of Palestinians by Israeli army and colonists’ gunfire in the occupied West Bank since October 7 to 760, including 18 females and 166 children.
