RAMALLAH: A Palestinian teenager was killed Thursday during clashes with the Israeli army near Jenin in the occupied West Bank, medical sources said.
Uday Salah, 17, was “killed by a bullet to the head fired by the Israeli occupation soldiers in Kafr Dan, Jenin governorate,” the Palestinian health ministry said.
The Israeli army said its forces were “mapping out the homes of the terrorists who killed Major Bar Falah and arresting suspects throughout the West Bank.”
Falah was killed on Wednesday in clashes near the Jalameh checkpoint, north of Jenin, which also killed Palestinians Ahmed Abed and Abdul Rahman Abed.
Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that soldiers had raided the family homes of both Ahmed and Abdul Rahman Abed, and arrested “Amer Taha Abed, who is the cousin of the martyr Ahmed Abed.”
The Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, the armed wing of Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas’s secular Fatah movement, had claimed responsibility for the Israeli major’s death.
Jenin has suffered frequent violence in recent months, part of a deadly flare-up that began in mid-March.
Israel has launched near nightly raids on West Bank towns and cities and have killed dozens of Palestinians, including fighters.
Last week, Israeli army chief Aviv Kohavi said “around 1,500 wanted people were arrested and hundreds of attacks prevented” in the operations.
Israel has occupied the West Bank since 1967 when it captured the territory from Jordan.

Kremlin: Room for negotiation on Iran ‘not exhausted’
- Spokesman Dmitry Peskov called for all sides to show restraint and refrain from force
MOSCOW: The Kremlin said on Thursday there was still room for negotiations in the standoff between ally Tehran and Washington, after US President Donald Trump threatened new military strikes on Iran.
The US has not ruled out using force against Iran, with rights groups saying Tehran’s crackdown on protests left thousands dead.
“It is clear that the potential for negotiations is not exhausted,” spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists, including from AFP.
He called for “all sides to show restraint and refrain from methods of force,” saying: “Any use of force can only create chaos in the region and lead to very dangerous consequences.”
Trump warned that the US was “ready, willing and able” to hit Iran “if necessary.”
The Islamic Republic’s top diplomat Abbas Araghchi said its forces have their “fingers on the trigger” to “powerfully respond” to any US strikes.
Iran emerged as one of Russia’s main allies during the war in Ukraine.
Independent groups said Iranian security forces have killed thousands while suppressing mass protests against Tehran’s regime.
