A Palestinian boy was killed and his father injured by the Israeli forces in the Tulkarem refugee camp on Tuesday amid an ongoing Israeli offensive in the northern occupied West Bank, Anadolu reports.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said its medical teams shifted the body of 17-year-old Mohammad Kanaan and his injured father to a hospital.

Medical sources said Kanaan was shot in the head while his father was shot in his waist by the Israeli forces.

On Monday evening, the Israeli army once again raided Tulkarem, after it had raided the city and its camps on Wednesday for over 48 hours during which it destroyed much of the infrastructure in the Nur Shams refugee camp.
