Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian child, on Tuesday, while he was working in a car wash in the town of Anata, northeast of occupied Jerusalem.
According to a statement by the media office in the Jerusalem Governorate, occupation forces shot and killed the child, Shadi Wissam Sheha, 16, in Anata town.
