Child shot dead by Israeli forces during raid in Nablus A 14-year-old Palestinian was shot dead by Israeli forces during a raid on the Askar refugee camp, east of Nablus, Al Jazeera is reporting, citing a medical source. According to the source, the child was shot in the chest.

Israeli forces opened fire on a suspected attacker in southern Syria on Monday, claiming he posed an immediate threat to their troops. The military asserted that the individual was allegedly involved in orchestrating attacks against their forces, with preparations for the attacks nearing completion. The statement posted on X did not disclose the suspect's identity or the specifics of the alleged operation.

This incident occurs amid Israel's ongoing incursions and breaches of the 1974 disengagement agreement with Syria, which include military operations in the region, raids, arrests, land leveling, and artillery bombardment targeting local residents.
