During the past week, a Palestinian child and an Islamic Jihad fighter were killed in the Jenin area.
Kamel Abdullah Kamel Alawneh, 17, died from his wounds Sunday after being shot by Israeli forces a day earlier.
On 2 July, five Israeli military vehicles were deployed at the entrance of Jaba, a village southwest of Jenin in the occupied West Bank.
They erected a checkpoint, provoking confrontations with Palestinian residents of the village.
Israeli forces opened fire on Alawneh as he stood 20 meters away, according to a field investigation by Defense for Children International-Palestine.
The teen was shot with live bullets in the elbow, and then again in the abdomen as he tried to flee. He managed to walk 20 more meters, before he collapsed and was taken to hospital where he underwent surgery.
Kamel died the next day, bringing the number of Palestinian children killed by Israel since the start of the year to 16.
