On Sunday, Israeli forces carried out separate incidents across the West Bank, opening fire on Palestinians in Al-Auja, Taybeh, and Askar refugee camp.
In Al-Auja, a 16-year-old Palestinian was apprehended after being suspected of stabbing an Israeli. The Israeli army reportedly raided the village, deploying in its streets and imposing a curfew.
Near Taybeh, a Palestinian man named Aws Akram Maatan was shot by the Israeli army after allegedly attempting to steal a weapon from an IDF soldier. Maatan suffered a foot injury and was taken to a Jerusalem hospital for treatment. The village council head, Sayel Kanaan, criticized the killing as unjustified.
In Askar refugee camp, a 14-year-old Palestinian teenager, Islam Ahmad Maher Ajouri, was shot and killed in the chest by Israeli forces. There were no confrontations justifying such a killing, according to Mohammed Abu Kashk, the head of the camp services committee.
