RAMALLAH, Palestine / ISTANBUL 

A Palestinian teenager died Friday from injuries sustained after being shot by Israeli forces the previous day east of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, the official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.

The agency said 18-year-old Mohammad Ahmad Khamees Abu Hunein succumbed to his wounds after being shot in the back Thursday evening during an Israeli raid on the New Askar refugee camp.

Israeli troops stormed the camp, sparking clashes during which soldiers opened fire on residents, critically wounding Abu Hunein, the agency added.

Local authorities said that more than 1,058 Palestinians have been killed in the occupied West Bank, around 10,300 wounded, and over 20,000 arrested, including 1,600 children, since the Gaza war began two years ago.

In a landmark opinion last July, the International Court of Justice declared Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory illegal and called for the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
