Illegal Israeli colonizers killed a Palestinian teen and wounded an elderly man on Friday, after invading the “Hamroush” area in the town of Sa’ir, northeast of Hebron in the southern occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed that Israeli colonizers shot and killed the child Karim Sanad Shalalda, 17, during their attack on the town of Sa’ir.
Media sources reported that a large number of armed colonizers stormed the Hamroush area in the town, setting fire to a citizen’s house, and opening fire with live rounds.
Media sources reported that the colonizers shot the child Shalalda who sustained a critical gunshot wound to the chest, in addition to shooting a 70-year-old man whose condition was not known at the time of this report.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) reported that its ambulance crews performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on a critically wounded child before pronouncing him deceased from his injuries.
The slain child’s father, Sanad Shalalda, stated that at least 50 colonizers stormed the area around his home and opened fire at his son from a close range when he confronted them.
Shalalda said, “My son was standing in front of the house and did nothing, and when he asked the settlers to move away, one of them shot him in the chest and killed him in cold blood.”
Later, the funeral procession for the slain teen set off from the Alia Governmental Hospital to his family’s home, where they said their final goodbyes, before he was buried in the family’s cemetery.
