Israeli forces killed a Palestinian child, on Friday, during its ongoing aggression against the northern West Bank city of Jenin and the Jenin refugee camp.
The Palestinian Health Ministry announced that the child, Rimas Omar Al-Amouri (13 years old), was killed after Israeli forces shot her in the abdomen with live ammunition.
Media sources said that soldiers opened fire towards citizens in the Al-Jabriyat neighborhood of Jenin city, shooting and critically wounding the girl. She was rushed to the Jenin Governmental Hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries.
The death of the child, Al-Amouri, brings the total number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in the Jenin governorate to 27, since the beginning of the so-called “Iron Wall” operation beginning on January 21, just two days after the ceasefire came into effect in Gaza.
For more than a month, the occupation army maintains its presence and control over Jenin city and the Jenin refugee camp, killing 27 Palestinian citizens and wounding dozens of others.
WAFA correspondent reported that dozens of military vehicles remain surrounding the Jenin Governmental Hospital and Al-Amal Hospital, stopping citizens and inspecting their ID’s.
He added that at least 3000 Palestinian families have been forcibly displaced from the Jenin refugee camp, while more than 120 homes have been completely destroyed.
Occupation forces have carried out unprecendented acts of sabotage against the city and its camp, razing streets, homes, vehicles, and destroying water lines, causing a water shortage.
The army continues to push more military reinforcements to the city, including fuel and water tanks, and fortified rooms.
