Israeli raid kills Palestinian teen and woman in West Bank

A Palestinian teenager and a woman were killed following a seven-hour Israeli military raid on the city of Tulkarem and the Nur al-Shams refugee camp in the occupied West Bank.

The victims were identified as Mohammed Ali Sarhan, 15, and Nisreen Khaled Damiri, 47, both residents of the camp.

The boy was shot in the head, while the woman was killed by shrapnel after a drone strike on the refugee camp. Wafa said.

Four other people were wounded by Israeli gunfire, the Health Ministry said in a statement, while the Palestinian Red Crescent said it was treating three wounded following the raid.

The Israeli military, whose forces struck the same refugee camp on Sunday, did not immediately comment on the latest deaths.

In April, a two-day Israeli raid killed 14 people in Nur Shams, the Palestinian Red Crescent said at the time.

Violence in the occupied West Bank, which Israel has occupied since 1967, has escalated since the start of Israel's war on Gaza, killing more than 37,925 people, most of them women and children.

In the West Bank, at least 556 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces and settlers since October 7.
