A Palestinian teenager was killed and another was wounded in an Israeli occupation forces (IOF) raid into Dura town in southern al-Khalil on Monday night.
The ministry of health announced on Tuesday the martyrdom of 18-year-old Mahmoud Ibrahim al-Huroub after midnight Monday. He was shot by an IOF bullet that penetrated his right eye and settled in his head earlier on Monday evening and was taken to hospital in critical condition.
Local sources said that IOF soldiers stormed the town and clashed with youths, who threw stones at the soldiers. They added that the soldiers fired live bullets, stun grenades and teargas at the young men hitting two of them with live bullets, one in the face and the other in the abdomen.
They said that the two youths were taken to hospital while dozens were treated in the field for teargas suffocation.
The martyrdom of Huroub brings the total number of citizens killed by the IOF in the West Bank and Jerusalem since October 7 to 636, including 147 children, while the number of injured reached around 5,400.
